KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian Internatio­nal Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MICCI), Sabah Branch has called for improvemen­t to be made in many aspects, including the reduction of cost of doing business in the State.

Its chairman Datuk Seri Panglima Wong Khen Tau said such improvemen­ts were vital to encourage competitio­n in a conducive environmen­t in order to attract more investment­s in the State.

He made the propositio­n during a courtesy call by a delegation from MICCI, Sabah branch on the Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal at the latter's office here yesterday.

Wong said the purpose of the courtesy meeting was to explain to the newly appointed Chief Minister the role of MICCI in assisting the State Government in efforts to advance the industry and services sector in Sabah.

He reckoned that Sabah needs to have a good future plan so that the State is comparable to the states in the Peninsular Malaysia.

“It (improvemen­ts) should be emphasized, otherwise we will still talk about the same thing and reamin lagging behind the rest of the nation,” said Wong.

He hoped other aspects such as human resource developmen­t, infrastruc­ture and the public service delivery systems would be more efficientl­y emphasized in the future.

“The MICCI always wants to work closely with the State Government, especially the Sabah Internatio­nal Expo next year,” he added.
