MIRI: The Chinese business community here welcomes the state government’s effort in developing a digital payment system to be called ‘Sarawak Pay’.
Assistant Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Datuk Lee Kim Shin said this digital business strategy to enhance the financial technology of the state was announced by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg during 68th anniversary celebration of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, held in Kuching recently.
“As we are gear towards a digital economy, this digital payment system will complement that effort.
“Now is the time for the business community to go into online marketing,” he told The Borneo Post after an informal meeting with the executive committee members of Miri Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCCI) at the open air market here yesterday.
From the discussion, Kim Shin – also Senadin assemblyman – said the MCCCI is going to form a digital economy taskforce for its members to penetrate the global online market.
He also commended MCCCI members who would be going to China this October to study online business.
“Of course, the state government is now in the process of increasing Internet speed for the state.”
Kim Shin said many young people have actually been using the Internet to market their products. In this regard, he encouraged MCCCI members who have yet to start online business to do so now and expand their business to reach the global market.
He pointed out the tourism business to illustrate how technology could allow local travel agents promote their packages via the Internet.
“Virtual 3D promotion on Gunung Mulu National Park allows potential visitors to view Mulu caves like they are actually there.”
SUPP Senadin publicity chief Eric Chin and MCCCI chairman Lee Khoi Yun were also present at the meeting.
