  "account": "Port Klang, Nov 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced today that Daiso's largest global distribution centre (GDC) in Pulau Indah, Selangor, is a vote of confidence in Malaysia's economic stability, infrastructure and long-term potential. The retail giant's decision highlights Malaysia's strategic location, established port infrastructure, and skilled workforce. Prime Minister Anwar noted that Daiso's choice of Pulau Indah for its largest GDC worldwide signifies the country's ability to attract companies looking to strengthen their global supply chains. The GDC, which is now Daiso's biggest warehouse globally, will enable goods arriving from around the world to be sorted, stored and repacked before being distributed to international markets. The federal government is continuing to strengthen Malaysia's logistics ecosystem through investments in port, rail and air cargo infrastructure, such as Westports II and a proposed megaport in Pulau Carey.",
