SUCCC president elected vice president of ACCCIM
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) president Tan Sri Andrew Liew Sui Fatt has been elected as a vice president of the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM).
At the same time, Ranau Chinese Chamber of Commerce president Datuk Jimmy Tham was elected as a committee member of ACCCIM.
The election was held during the 72nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) of ACCCIM last Friday (July 20), which was officiated by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Tan Sri Ter Leong Yap was re-elected as the president of the association while Datuk Liew Sew Yee is his deputy. Six vice presidents and 23 committee members were also elected in the AGM.
Liew pledged to do his level best to foster good relations between SUCCC and ACCCIM.
He also hoped that the State Government led by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Shafie Apdal would render its support to SUCCC, as did Mahathir to ACCCIM.
“We, the SUCCC, fully support the State Government of Sabah.
“We hope the Chief Minister will support our association’s endeavour to propel the State economy forward together as well.”
Liew added that ACCCIM would host the World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention in Kuala Lumpur in August next year, which the Prime Minister has agreed to attend.
