  2. The supply of services by a company licensed under section 65A of the Customs Act of 1967, or operating in a free zone directly in connection with goods for export to an overseas customer who belongs in a county other than Malaysia, and who is outside Malaysia at the time the services are performed.
  3. The supply of services directly in connection with goods involved in R&D to an overseas customer who belongs in a country other than Malaysia, and who is outside of Malaysia at the time the services are performed.
