KUALA LUMPUR: There is a potential for Malaysia to benefit from the relocation of the Indonesian capital to East Kalimantan, the Dewan Rakyat was told yesterday.

Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Marzuki Yahya (pix) said that while there would be challenges and implications, the benefits, particularly to Sabah and Sarawak that are also in Borneo, would outweigh the drawbacks.
