Friends always: (From left) Bai, Tan and Saifuddin looking at a picture of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali meeting up with Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan during a visit to Beijing last month.


KUALA LUMPUR: The long standing Malaysia-China bilateral relations will only go stronger as the two nations engage with one another in industries of the future, says Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.

He said yesterday that more collaborations are in the pipeline in technology development.

“Apart from trade, we are also talking about industries of the future, such as the artificial intelligence and robotics areas.

“We are very positive. There will be more collaborations in those industries in near future.

“And I am confident our relations will be better, in addition to China promising to purchase more palm oil from us,” he told reporters after opening the “45 Years of Glory” photo exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall.

Describing the Malaysia-China relations as ‘’civilisational’’ that began way longer than 45 years ago, Saifuddin said such relations transcended any barrier of diplomacy, trade and friendship between them.

“For example, Malaysia is a Muslim majority country and China accepted Islam much earlier and has more Muslim citizens compared to us.

“The migration of the Chinese (to then Malaya) began during the Melaka Sultanate era instead of the time of British colonisation.

“That is why I said our bilateral relations began hundreds of years ago before 1974, evident in our religious similarity (in Islam) and cultural exchange (from Chinese migration),” he said.

Saifuddin noted that it was remarkable for a small country like Malaysia to maintain such a good and long relationship with China, which is one of the superpowers in the world.

“We have instances where other superpower bullies a small nation, superpowers that manufacture international consent against small nations, and also superpowers declaring physical war and trade war against small nations.

“There is never this kind of issue between Beijing and Kuala Lumpur.

“In fact, China was the first country that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad visited and also the only country he visited twice in a year after Pakatan Harapan came into power.“That shows how close we are,” he said, adding that Malaysia and China are moving forward from “hundreds of years of history and looking at hundreds of years in the future.”

Chinese Ambassador to Malaysia Bai Tian said that leaders from both countries who made the historic decision to establish diplomatic relations amidst the East-West Cold War 45 years ago bore fruits of mutual trust, long-term friendly relationship and cooperation in many areas throughout the decades.

“Malaysia was the first South-East Asian country to establish diplomatic relations with China.

“Over the past 45 years, both countries have had a high-level of bilateral and political mutual trust, achieved long-term development of friendly relationship and had fruitful cooperation in various areas.

“All these have benefited the people of the two countries with tangible interests and win-win results,” he said in his speech.

Bai said Malaysia witnessed a historical general election last year.

Welcoming the smooth change-over, he said: “China-Malaysia relations are entering into a new phase.”He said that Dr Mahathir’s presence at the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in China last month have made the future path clearer for the two nations.

“I am confident with joint efforts from the two governments and the people, China-Malaysia will create more remarkable achievements together,” he added.

Malaysia’s special envoy to China, Tan Kok Wai called on the younger generation to gain insight from the exhibition and learn from the past, as “the past, the present and the future are interconnected.”

“The long-term and stable ties between Malaysia and China is invaluable. We should work hand in hand to preserve this relationship from generation to generation,” he said.

To commemorate the 45th anniversary of the establishment of Malaysia-China diplomatic relations, both countries are co-organising a series of activities this year, covering trade, culture and tourism.

The photo exhibition, which is organised by the Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce, the KL and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, Xinhua Silk Road Online New Media Centre, and the Malaysia-China Busi­ness Council, is one of such activity. It features 120 historical photographs, covering the exchange and development in politics, society, economy and trade, education and sports between both countries throughout the decades.

Some remarkable photos included one that featured Chinese leader Mao Ze Dong and second prime minister Tun Abdul Razak Hussein taken in 1974, and another with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Dr Mahathir last month.

Admission to the exhibition is free and is ongoing until May 31 before moving on to other states.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) was given a pat on the back for helping Malay, Indian and other non-Mandarin speaking entrepreneurs to explore the China market.

Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said such initiatives undertaken by MCCC was much appreciated, as multiracial Malaysian entrepreneurs stood to benefit from China’s rapid growth.

“The government will continue to encourage young entrepreneurs, emerging industries and the halal industry to enter the China market,” she said at the MCCC Chinese New Year celebrations held at a hotel here yesterday.

Dr Wan Azizah said the bilateral trade volume between Malaysia and China hit a record high last year, recording US$80bil (RM326bil) in value.

“We would like more FDIs from China. China’s experience in the Internet economy, its innovative experience in helping women and youths start their own businesses and in encouraging and assisting SMEs to embrace innovation are areas Malaysia would like to learn from,” she said.

China’s Ambassador to Malaysia Bai Tian said China would remain the largest investor in Malaysia’s manufacturing industry.

“The economy and development areas are not free of risk. But we must dispel negativity to see clearly. Let’s work together as partners and continue making progress,” he said.

Describing Malaysia-China diplomatic ties as being solid over the last 45 years, Bai Tian said both countries had withstood the test of time and enjoyed tangible benefits.

“China is ready to work with Malaysia at all levels including the central government, the local government and the business sector,” he added.

4 September 2018

KUALA LUMPUR:  The relations between Malaysia and China is supposed be further enhanced after the  visit  of  Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir to China.  However, the vague and ambiguous statement and inconsistent policies that made by our new government leaders recently, may dent the existing and even the potential investors’ confidences on investing in Malaysia. This may bring a serious impact to our country’s economy.

Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC), with members from multi races, independent and private business groups, recognizes the necessity to clarify its views and standpoint on this matter.

In connection with the tearing down of the perimeter wall around the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park (MCKIP), it was later identified that this incident is merely a misunderstanding. The perimeter wall is completely reasonable and legal,  it was built to safeguard the safety of the employees and the assets of the factories.  MCCC hopes that the official institutions could make a clarification on the untrue statements so as to prevent the incident from being used by people with intention, and to let the industry to move on smoothly.

The remarks on the prohibition of the selling of Forest City property to foreignors has given a shock to both the foreign investors and developers even though  it was clarified by Tun Dr Mahathir that there is no such prohibition.  This incident may bring a negative impact on attracting investment and the “Second Home” plan.  It is necessary for the official institutions to make reasonable explanations and appeasements to safeguard Malaysia reputation.

The above mentioned incidents have repeatedly highlighted the influence of Malaysia officials, especially the new government leaders, on their decisions.

MCCC, which has always been committed to maintaining and promoting Malaysia-China economics and trade relations, has called for government leaders to be cautious on their words. The government should establish and strengthen a specialized department or group, to report to the government leaders promptly and clearly on all the matters regarding foreign investment policies.  By establishing a transparent and rational communication and information mechanism, the government leaders can ensure in getting the right information.

The “Belt and Road Initiative” is celebrating its fifth year this year.  The willingness of China investors to “go global” has become stronger. Malaysian companies of all races and fields becoming more and more willing to co-operate with these skilled, talented and experienced China enterprises.

In this ”striving the economy” era, MCCC will continue to act as a link for Malaysia and China to complement each other on their trades and businesses.  MCCC also hopes that the official institutions can release friendly business and investment policies to foreign investors so that  Malaysia can maintain its status and attractiveness among neighboring countries along the Belt and Road, and to become the biggest business partner to China.

In addition, YB Ignatius also agreed that the MCCC has long been contributing to the relationship between the two countries. YB promised to invite MCCC if the ministry is organising any visit to China.

YB Ignatius highly affirmed the ability of the MCCC to receive 150 to 200 Chinese delegations each year. He also promised that he would seriously consider visiting the headquarters of the MCCC in person to express his support to the chamber.
