Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce praises 24-hour licensing move
Published on: Friday, July 18, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 18, 2025 Text Size: Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) has praised the Sabah Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board (Sabah LPKP) for the full activation of its 24-hour Integrated Public Transport Licensing System (ISPKP), describing the initiative as a progressive step toward improving regulatory oversight and service delivery. The commendation came during a courtesy visit by SUCCC representatives to Sabah LPKP, led by Wong Thart Sin, Chairman of SUCCC's Logistics and Transport Committee (LTC) and former Deputy Chairman of the same committee under the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM). Advertisement Wong represented SUCCC President Datuk Michael Lui Yen Sang, and was accompanied by LTC Deputy Chairman Koh Tze Eak and Secretary Amy Hiew Yen Mie. During the engagement, Sabah LPKP Director Dairin Unsir outlined the board's regulatory responsibilities, which include the licensing of all commercial vehicles in the state. In line with Sabah's autonomy and nationalistic economic priorities, LPKP Sabah requires applicants for commercial vehicle permits to meet a minimum local equity ownership of 70 percent. However, concerns were raised during the meeting over the presence of unlicensed commercial vehicles operating in Sabah, as well as the practice of heavy vehicles parking along roadsides, particularly in the Sandakan region, which undermines the board's safety compliance objectives. Wong stressed the importance of prioritising local logistics and transport operators, especially in underdeveloped regions of the state, to ensure the sustainability of SUCCC members' businesses in Sabah's growing transport sector. The session also touched on the expansion of safety and compliance systems such as ICOP and AIS, and discussed SUCCC's potential participation in LPKP Sabah's public engagement forums. In response, Dairin welcomed greater collaboration and extended an invitation for SUCCC to join the Sabah Logistics Council, signalling openness to further dialogue and joint efforts to advance the sector. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
