Kota Kinabalu: The KKCCCI Golf Invitation 2025 saw strong participation and competitive spirit among players from both the business and government sectors. KKCCCI President Datuk Michael Lui said the event symbolised the chamber's evolving identity, driven by the rise of a younger generation of committee members. 'KKCCCI is no longer confined to traditional activities. We are now organising dynamic events that keep pace with the times. 'The newly-formed Young Entrepreneurs sub-group, established this year, will play a vital role in empowering the chamber and uniting young business leaders to push forward mutually beneficial initiatives,' he said. He emphasised the importance of preparing local businesses for the future, particularly as the world advances into the era of AI and automation. 'I look forward to the continued efforts of Vice President Datuk Simon Chee and Director Nicholas Tan, who are helping businesses master advanced skills, enhance digital capabilities and drive industry transformation. 'These efforts are crucial for taking Sabah enterprises onto the global stage,' Michael said. He also commended the organising committee, led by Deputy Director of Primary Commodities, Tobin Ng. 'Today is not just about a round of golf but it is also about coming together as a community to make a difference and reach our goal of business networking,' he said. More than 80 people participated in the competition with Akbar Mohd Said clinching the Golden Tiger award. Also present were Deputy Speaker of the State Legislative Assembly Datuk Al Hambra Tun Juhar, Mayor of City Hall (DBKK) Datuk Seri Dr Sabin Samitah and Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government and Housing Datuk Dr Jamili Nais. He extended his sincere appreciation to all sponsors and participants for their contributions to the event's success, with special mention of Hap Seng Star for generously sponsoring the 'Hole in One' prize. He also reaffirmed the chamber's commitment to making the invitational an annual fixture. 'We will continue to promote this event in the coming years as a platform for fellowship, innovation, and strategic collaboration among business leaders,' he said. The golf tournament forms part of KKCCCI's broader efforts to engage the business community through dynamic and meaningful activities that support growth and transformation. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
