Sarawak offers numerous opportunities for investment<\/a> with its vast natural resources, high quality infrastructure facilities, and stable political and social landscape as well as industrial relations, among many others contributing factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These encourage supply chain collaborations in economic sectors, which investors such as OCIM Sdn Bhd<\/a> \u2013 a subsidiary of OCI Holdings of South Korea and a representative in Malaysia, as part of a leading global green energy and chemical company \u2013 can take full advantage of in their global expansion and partnerships in the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is here where technology transfer is deemed crucial, noted the Premier of Sarawak YAB Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari bin Tun Datuk Abang Haji Openg, especially as multinational companies recruit local talents to manage and contribute together in the production of global products and services.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cFor Sarawakians, you must also work hard\u2026. We as the host country must upgrade our skills so that we can help together with (local and international investors) in Sarawak and perhaps learn the culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn other words, there should be cultural exchange that will enhance our understanding, and that is why tonight is a convergence of culture between the Koreans and Sarawakians,\u201d he said during the Malaysia-Korea Charity Gala Night<\/a> that was held in Kuching on 20 January 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Themed \u201cGreen Together\u201d, the event was co-organised by OCIM Sdn Bhd and Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) in their joint efforts towards sustainability and supporting the needing society in both South Korea and Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his keynote address, the Premier also spoke of the importance of socio-economic development through renewable and sustainable approaches in tackling climate change and mitigating carbon emissions, applauding Sarawak and South Korea for their green energy pursuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To OCIM, he expressed his appreciation to the company for being \u201ca good corporate citizen of Sarawak\u201d that was open to working with Sarawak to support the needy or underprivileged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat should be our approach\u2026 While your investment need to have good return on investment or ROI, you play your part to help those who are less fortunate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
