The Belt and Road projects in Malaysia, such as the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" have achieved good economic and social effects, creating jobs and promoting connectivity, said Johari bin Abdul, speaker of Malaysia's lower house of parliament.
"The east coast in Malaysia has been an almost forgotten region because of the accessibility. By the coming of the ECRL, we will herald a new dawn into the East Coast, an area rich with culture and natural beauty."
