FMM Sabah added it has been and will always be actively participating in the state government meetings and briefings as it is committed to work hand-in-hand with the new government for the development of manufacturing industries in Sabah.

The federation said it recognised the development of Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP), Lahad Datu Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC), Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP) and Sabah Economic Development Corporation had boosted the manufacturing sector tremendously but strongly believes that equal emphasis and opportunities should be given to local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) to expand their business.

On that note, FMM Sabah said it is ready to work closely with the new Sabah state government to create a greater business and industrial climate for the betterment of people of Sabah.

Moving forward, FMM Sabah pledges to support and cooperate with the new state government as the State economy prospers to a greater height in the exciting times ahead.
