Kota Kinabalu: Kim Teck Cheong Consolidated Berhad (KTC) Executive Director Datuk Dexter Lau quashed rumours that he will be representing Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) to contest for the Kota Kinabalu parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15).
Lau said his focus remains on KTC and his business.
“My priority is still KTC. As the company’s executive director, my duty is to manage the company well.”
He said this when commenting on a Chinese daily report that he may be fielded as PBS’ candidate for Kota Kinabalu after a networking event between Malaysia-China Chamber of Commerce (MCCC) Young Entrepreneurs Committee (Sabah branch) and OE Edutech delegation.
Lau said business takes precedence at the moment.
He added that PBS has high-calibre leaders who are capable.
“I believe PBS possesses high-calibre leaders who are capable of taking the helm in politics and governance of Sabah.”
On the other hand, Lau said more than 60 delegates from OE Edutech participated in the visit to Sabah with the aim to explore the opportunities and potentials in the state.
He said the networking session involving over 100 entrepreneurs from OE Edutech and MCCC Young Entrepreneurs Committee (Sabah branch) might be one of the biggest in East Malaysia.
