携手赠船同救济，扬帆破浪再启航
2022年7月15日，马来西亚中资企业总商会（以下简称：总商会）于马六甲进行赠船仪式，赠予大马民防部队10艘救生船帮助马来西亚防洪救灾。国际贸易及工业部副部长拿督林万锋先生、中国驻马来西亚大使馆唐锐公使、中国驻马来西亚大使馆国防武官张戈大校、马来西亚中资企业总商会会长张敏先生、大马民防部队主席雷迪、马六甲中华总商会、马来西亚中资企业总商会会员、媒体朋友共同出席见证此富有意义的捐赠仪式。
在总商会的号召下，本次捐赠10艘救生船总值马币11万令吉，共同为马来西亚水灾救援工作献出己力、与马来西亚同舟共济、守望相助。其中7艘救生船来自中国银行、中远海运、中国港湾、重庆国际、中国建筑、杰赛科技与中石油管道局捐赠，另3艘为总商会出资捐赠。
张敏会长表示，马来西亚是驻马中企的第二个家，马来西亚的水灾也一直牵动着中资企业的心。2017年11月总商会曾联合中企会员为槟州水灾筹得马币35万令吉的善款，分别移交20万给马来西亚国家安全理事会，以及捐赠南洋报业基金15万马币用于援助槟城水灾的灾民。此次总商会发动救生船捐赠活动，希望能够为未来的水灾救援工作提供更多的帮助、让受灾民众及时逃离困境。
他表示，今年是中马建交48周年，48年间中马作为重要合作伙伴，一直弘扬同舟共济、共克时艰的精神、为两国谱写了携手发展的新篇章。今年恰逢也是马来西亚中资企业总商会成立20周年。20年间，总商会秉承相互尊重、共谋发展的初心扎根大马，开启中马企业合作新纪元。他希望在马中企未来更积极发挥互助精神，为两国共建团结、繁荣的美好家园。
中国驻马来西亚大使馆唐锐公使对总商会此次的义举表示赞许。他认为总商会作为中资企业的桥梁，能够发挥凝聚力量、号召会员对水灾救援工作慷慨解囊，充分体现了中企上下一心履行社会责任的担当与良好形象。他表示，马六甲从古至今一直是中马之间重要的商贸地点，在“一带一路”的推进与发展道路上，扮演着举足轻重的角色。因此，本次捐赠仪式选在马六甲也具有十分特别的历史意义。
他指出，如今越来越多中企到马六甲投资兴业，为马来西亚带来创新的技术与蓬勃发展的新气象。他鼓励中资企业继续加强与大马各界的合作，为两国创造更光明的未来。
国际贸易及工业部副部长拿督林万锋先生代表马方政府感谢总商会捐赠十艘“生命之舟”资助马来西亚水灾救助工作。他表示，近两年疫情蔓延之时，中马双边经贸合作逆势上升并创下高达1768亿美元的贸易额，充分体现了两国强大的发展潜质与生命力。
总商会一直与贸工部（MITI）、投资发展局（MIDA）保持定期会面与沟通，双方共同努力扩大两国的经贸往来、为中马经贸合作取得更大的发展。同时身任马六甲议员的他期望更多优质中企能到马六甲经营发展，贸工部将着力打造良好的投资环境欢迎他们的到来。
