KL asks S'pore to join supercorridor

SINGAPORE (AFP): Malaysia has urged Singapore to participate in its ambitious multi-media super corridor project by contributing to its software requirements, The Sunday Times said.

Hishamuddin Tun Hussein, parliamentary secretary for Malaysia's ministry of international trade and industry, was quoted as saying that the project to build an information- technology hub was not aimed at undermining Singapore.

"There's a perception that we are going to step on each other's toes. We feel that the world is our market. You have your strengths, and we have ours, and we can work together," Hishamuddin added.

The proposed multi-media super corridor stretches some 50 kilometers from the Kuala Lumpur city center to the Malaysian capital's new international airport.
