Data, Digitalisation Vital In Unlocking Sabah's Trade Potential
BUSINESS By Jailani Hasan LABUAN, July 22 (Bernama) -- Data and digitalisation are becoming vital tools in unlocking Sabah's full trade and logistics potential, with a logistics expert calling for deeper integration and coordination across the state's supply chain ecosystem. Former president of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) Malaysia and vice-president of CILT International for Southeast Asia Datuk Dr Ramli Amir said digital transformation, including the development of centralised logistics data platforms, is essential for Sabah to remain competitive in regional and global markets. 'Without data, we cannot plan, coordinate and optimise operations. 'Data enables us to assess performance and identify gaps, whether at port operations, inland connectivity or customs,' he said in a note to Bernama today. He noted Sabah's ports, particularly Sepanggar Bay Container Port have grown in capacity and importance, but the state still suffers from siloed data systems and fragmented coordination among stakeholders. Ramli sees the need for a unified digital trade ecosystem where customs, ports, freight forwarders, and government agencies operate through integrated platforms to improve turnaround times and facilitate real-time cargo tracking. He said Sabah should accelerate the adoption of advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) sensors and predictive analytics to support trade flows and strategic planning. Citing best practices from countries like Vietnam and Singapore, Ramli stressed that Sabah must move towards a data-centric approach to trade facilitation, especially under Malaysia's broader initiatives like the National Single Window (NSW) and ASEAN connectivity goals.

Child drives mum's car, crashes into drain in Telok Gong
KLANG: A viral video showing a car crashing into a drain in Telok Gong, reportedly driven by a child, made the rounds on social media. The footage shows a grey Proton Saga that had veered off the road and ended up in the drain. South Klang district police chief Assistant Commissioner Ramli Kasa said the incident is believed to have taken place around 10am yesterday. "Initial investigations revealed the car was driven by an 11-year-old boy who was accompanied by his seven-year-old sibling, who are both UNHCR card holders, and a cousin who is a local. "The vehicle was initially being driven by the siblings' mother, also a UNHCR card holder, from Bandar Sultan Suleiman, Port Klang, to visit her daughter in Telok Gong," he said in a statement. Upon arrival, the mother left the children briefly to use the toilet, during which time the 11-year-old took the keys and decided to drive to a nearby shop with the other children, he said. Ramli said he managed to drive approximately 2km before losing control of the vehicle near a row of shops, causing it to crash into a roadside drain. "Fortunately, no injuries were reported. "However, the vehicle sustained minor damage to the lower right front bumper." The case is being investigated under Section 43(1) and Section 39(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for careless and inconsiderate driving; and driving without a licence (underage), respectively, and the Child Act 2001 to determine whether there were any elements of negligence on the part of the guardian. Ramli reminded parents and guardians to be more vigilant and never allow underage children to operate any vehicle, as doing so poses serious safety risks to both the minors and the public.
