KOTA KINABALU: The Federation of Sabah Industries (FSI) President, Richard Lim, agreed with State Covid-19 Spokesperson Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun’s statement that the State Government needs to strike a balance between lives and livelihood.
He said FSI hoped the State Government could implement a good and balanced plan for the people of Sabah as the economy and industry sector also need to survive and sustain the people’s livelihood.
“We hope that in the future, there will be gradually open up different industry sectors and businesses with a certain set of SOP,” he said in a statement Monday.
FSI also welcomed the new State Health Director Dr Rose Nani Mudin’s statement in which the State Health Department was optimistic that Sabah could achieve the targeted 80 per cent herd immunity before year-end following the positive development of increasing number of vaccine recipients daily.

“Hence, the acceleration of vaccinations is one of the ways to let the people of Sabah recover back their livelihood,” said Lim.
Meanwhile, FSI members have handed over donations of food products to Goon Thien Shang, the Special Officer to Deputy Chief Minister cum Industrial Development Minister Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam for helping out the needy and poor regardless of their race and entity.
Lim and his council members were also present at the presentation of the donations.
“We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the FSI members for their generous support for the donations in kind. They are Tommy Wong of Sabah Flour & Feed Mills Sdn Bhd, Dicky Vun of DKV Marketing Sdn Bhd, James Ha of Dong Sin Food Sdn Bhd and Thomas Ng of NCT Forwarding & Shipping Sdn Bhd,” said FSI Secretary General, Dr Andrew Sim.
FSI hopes these donations will help the people in need and can encourage them to get through their current life difficulties, he said.
Dr Sim said FSI also supported Masidi’s statement to focus more on accelerating vaccinations.
“Indeed to achieve herd immunity, we really need to increase the vaccination rate among the Sabah community for better protection, especially those vulnerable people such as infants and children,” said Dr Sim.
