Kota Kinabalu: Issues on stateless and undocumented people must be addressed to enhance the socio-economy of the community or local population within the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East Asean Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) region.
The BIMP-EAGA Business Council (BEBC) Malaysia (Sabah) Chairman Dr Raymond Alfred said if this matter was not settled, the main goals of the BIMP-EAGA would not be achieved.
He said in the last three years, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) conducted an excellent study of various sorts including Comprehensive Economic Partnership (based on product-specific rules of origin) and Green Bond Market.
