KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Economic Advisory Council (SEAC) has backed the call by Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing not to pass unnecessary or unwelcome remarks to Chinese tourists when they start arriving in Malaysia.

Its chairman Tan Sri David Chu said the SEAC also implored all tourism stakeholders in Sabah to do their best to give a warm welcome to these guests following China’s move to open up its borders starting Jan 8.

“They have contributed an overwhelming portion of Sabah’s RM8bil tourism receipt and have generated considerable employment business opportunities for Sabahans.“Equally important for Sabah’s future, some China state enterprise organisations, a provincial government and private enterprises have already shown substantial interest in investment in steel manufacturing, crude palm oil , a regional logistic hub for e-commerce, and Sabah Malaysia My Second Home .

The Minister said that Malaysia has enjoyed long-standing close relations with China and the bond between the two countries must not be broken.
