KOTA KINABALU (Nov 24, 2012): Chief Minister Datuk
Seri Musa Aman has called on local entrepreneurs to participate
aggressively in the wellness industry in the state. In making the call, he said this was because advances in the wellness
industry, both modern and traditional, were in line with Sabah's focus
on promoting health-based tourism as envisaged through several
initiatives including the Economic Transformation Plan (GTP).

"I wish to see higher participation of local entrepreneurs in
health-based tourism, and I encourage you to form joint ventures with
those in the know in order to create opportunities that not only benefit
the state but also help create quality jobs for Malaysians in Sabah,"
he said.
Musa said this when launching the Wellness Journey Conference and
Exhibition organised by the Sabah Women Entrepreneurs and Professional
at the Sabah Trade Centre, Likas, near here today.
He said in a fast paced and competitive world, "wellness is a topic
that is constantly on the radar and an issue that we hear more of".
"Wellness is a wide topic, and one that can be viewed from different
perspectives and thoughts. When we talk about wellness, we need to
understand how this term covers not only our physical health but our
mental and emotional health.
"It is about our overall well-being and one way of achieving this is
through a lifestyle of positive attitude and a positive development," he
said.
Musa was happy to note that the discussions would also touch on the
use of traditional herbs and age-old methods in achieving better health.
"As such, there is value in promoting local knowledge on wellness,
not just for economic reasons, but also for the further protection of
our natural resources," he said.
In this respect, Musa hoped that more studies would be conducted on
traditional wellness systems in Sabah and documented for the public
through books. – Bernama
