陈超耀:蚬壳总部迁入让美里经济迎来新契机

砂旅游副部长兼卑尔骚区议员拿督陈超耀律师表示,大马蚬壳公司上游总部即将迁入美里,这对美里人来说是天大喜讯,也意味着美里经济将迎来新契机,迈向更高峰。 他说,大马蚬壳公司主席陈文杰近日对职员发出的通知,证实了该公司上游总部将在2023年年底之后进驻美里时代广场,该新建筑也将成为美里另一个新地标,可遥望南中国海和加拿大山一号油井。 陈超耀表示,无独有偶的是,国油公司也即将进驻美里设立办事处,两家石油巨头总计超过2000名职员将迁至美里,加强业务和企业运作,让美里成为名副其实的“油城”。 他指出,大企业设立总部和安排大量员工入驻的直接效应可体现在经济层面,这不仅能带动消费,还能刺激服务业、房地产业和教育业发展。同时,人口增加也意味着商机无限,其他领域企业和商家也肯定要分享美里这块经济蛋糕。 “在发展拥有巨大潜能的条件下,砂政府肯定会重视美里的发展需求,致力提升各项基础设施发展,提高人民生活水平。这些都能让美里人直接受惠。” 除了经济与商机,美里未来也拥有大量就业机会提供予本地人,让本地人才有发挥本身才华的机会,这相信也是许多美里人的期望,即美里有大量发展机会后,年轻一代再也无需离乡背井,到其他城市或国外就业,而是留在美里发展,为家乡和砂拉越发展作出贡献。 陈超耀说,邻国印尼正展开迁都至加里曼丹的计划,新首都努山达拉在地理位置上与北砂相近,这亦是美里人即将迎来的另一个庞大商机和机遇。 有鉴于此,他呼吁美里人为未来的发展机遇做好准备,提升自身的技能,以在未来迎合新趋势需求,一起让美里朝向欣欣向荣的发展。
