Deputy Chief Minister Datuk
Raymond Tan Shu Kiah said the state
government is keen to introduce
tram services as a solution to the
perennial traffic congestion in the
state, particularly in the state capital
according to Borneo Post.
He said this when Kuching-based
China’s new Consul General, Liu Quan
and fellow consuls, Sun Xia and Chen
Hao, paid a courtesy call on him at his
office.
In response to Raymond’s statement,
Liu proposed that the state
government works with China in
realising such services as China’s
transportation technology is
advanced.

Liu said Sabah’s strategic position in
the region as one of the members
of the Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia
and Philippines-East Asean Growth
Area (BIMP-EAGA) augurs well for
its economy. This, coupled with
better air and sea transport services,
would spur the state’s economic
development to greater heights, he
opined.
Raymond, who is also the Minister of
Industrial Development, said that with
the introduction of more direct flights
between Sabah and China, the state
has seen a big increase in the number
of tourist arrivals from China and
Hong Kong. He said China is also one
of the largest importers of crude palm
oil from Sabah.
