The delegation was led by SUCCC cum KKCCCI President Datuk Michael Lui, with KKCCCI Deputy President Datuk Chang Chin Shin, JP, Secretary General Yee That Hian, Treasurer General Kapitan Albert Kok, JP, Deputy Director Tobin Ng, Executive Secretary Imo Chong and Assistant Executive Secretary Adriana Yee.
“The SUCCC & KKCCCI remains committed to fostering a prosperous and stable commercial environment. We pay close attention to and understand the government’s initiatives in driving economic growth.
“We also look forward to playing a more effective role as a bridge between the government and industry players, jointly seeking feasible solutions to advance Sabah’s economic development,” Lui said on Tuesday.
The meeting aimed to strengthen communication between the business community and government departments, with discussions covering current economic conditions, business development, and Sabah’s rights under federal policies.
During the meeting, Lui emphasised his belief that the State Government in implementing federal policies will prioritizes the interests and needs of Sabah particularly in matters related to the Malaysia Agreement 1963 (MA63), ensuring autonomy and developmental rights are protected.
