BELURAN: The newly formed Beluran Chinese Chamber of Commerce (BCCC) will make their utmost effort in assisting the local government in attracting more business entrepreneurs to invest in the township.

Its president Tsen Kin Enn said it was vital to have various supply services in place to ensure steady economic growth of the district.

“Lacking of such would only hinder the authority and the government from achieving their objectives to transform Beluran into a more prosperous district.”

Tsen said Beluran was heavily dependent on its agricultural industry, including the fishing industry.

The lack of machinery repair services, insufficient supply of spare parts, building materials, fertilizers and other goods had hampered the district from moving forward till now, he said.

“After studying the business environment here, we came up with several strategies, including encouraging and to convincing business entrepreneurs in the state to take chances and explore the business potential here.

“We shall provide necessary information and assistance should they decide to invest and set up their businesses here,” he said.

Tsen said more businesses in the district meant more job opportunities for the locals, and which would eventually lead to a win-win situation for all, including the authorities.

Tsen said this after paying a courtesy call on District Officer Suhaili Bin Riman at the district office here, recently. Also present was Assistant District Officer Abdul Rahman.

In addition, Tsen conveyed the chamber’s wish to set up its own clubhouse in the district to Suhaili as part of its efforts to achieve the above objective.

“With the setting up of our BCCC clubhouse we would be able to provide a center for statewide business entrepreneurs to come and get business information here or seek assistance from us.

“More importantly, we can use it to plan and to carry out our objectives, fulfill our obligations to our members and the Chinese business community here,” he said.

Also present at the courtesy call were BCCC deputy president Ng Wei Li, treasurer Chia Piak Hing, secretary Henly Liew, assistance secretary Mecky Wong and committee members Lai Thau Shung and Roland Sze.
