Kota Kinabalu: The State Government is focused on finding effective and efficient ways to improve the people’s economy already hurt by the Covid-19 pandemic.
“We need to resuscitate the local economy. Too many people have lost their jobs, or their wages are cut in half.
“One of the ways to replace these lost jobs is by expanding existing economies such as supporting the swiftlet bird’s nest industry,” said Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Dr Jeffrey Kitingan

Kota Kinabalu: More Sabah goods will be able to penetrate the China market, said POIC Sabah Sdn Bhd Chairman Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee.
He said this was possible with a recent signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the CAIQTest Innovation (Malaysia) Service Centre (CAIQTest).
The centre, Yong said, would lead to the setting up of a food testing and certification centre in Lahad Datu, where POIC Sabah is developing a regional processing and logistics hub.

“It also seeks the formalisation of procedures easing the certification of products aimed for the huge China market, including agro-based, aqua-based, edible oil, bird’s nests and downstream food products.
