KOTA KINABALU (June 21): Sabah has the ideal conditions for developing international healthcare-related industries and food safety, said Sabah China Chamber of Commerce (SCCC) president Datuk Frankie Liew. He said that Sabah is endowed with nature, unpolluted environment, beautiful scenery, pleasant climate and advantageous geographical location.

“If we can collaborate, leveraging China’s increasingly mature technology, mechanisms, management, and industrial chain in these areas, it will drive the development of Sabah’s medical and healthcare tourism and food industries,” he said after visiting several China enterprises and exchanging ideas with experts in relevant fields recently. Liew is actively engaging with enterprises in the healthcare sector in China. He hopes to encourage relevant Chinese businesses to venture into Sabah and develop the medical and healthcare tourism industry.

“With the implementation of the Sabah-Malaysia My Second Home Program and various conveniences such as mutual visa exemption between Malaysia and China, it will be easier to promote trade and investment cooperation between Sabah and China. We must seize this rare opportunity, accelerate our efforts and promote economic cooperation between China and ASEAN,” he said. Yesterday, Liew accompanied by He Yifeng, the Vice President of the China Magnesia Industry Association, visited several companies, including Ta.
