Editor's Note编辑寄语
DearReaders/亲爱的读者：
In March, Ningbo is vibrant with spring energy. Gentle breezes sweep across riverbanks, coastlines, and bustling ports, as if whispering a reminder: Ningbo is ready to set sail again, embarking on explorations of distant stories.
In this edition, let's turn our spotlight to Malaysia.As a key stop on the ancient Maritime Silk Road, this place shares a special connection with Ningbo. This month, we're unpacking everything about Malaysia - it's a global trade hotspot thanks to its prime position guarding the Malacca Strait, famous worldwide for electronics, palm oil, and rubber. Plus, with its British-style education system and great value for money, it's become the go-to study spot in Southeast Asia. From the iconic Petronas Twin Towers painting that modern skyline to Penang's street art bringing Nanyang vibes to life, this country nails that perfect mix of tradition and innovation, nature and city life.
At this moment, we are connecting the world through words. We hope this magazine becomes a tiny bridge—letting the tropical breezes from Southeast Asia rustle through these pages, while Ningbo's heartbeat travels miles away. Who knows? The next legendary tale might just begin to sprout as you flip to the next page.
三月的宁波，春潮涌动。带着春意的暖风，拂过江边、海岸、港口，似乎是在提醒我们：甬城已准备好再次启航，出发去探索远方的故事。
本期杂志，我们邀请读者将目光投向马来西亚。作为古代海上丝绸之路的重要驿站，这里与东方大港宁波遥相呼应。在本月刊中，您将了解到关于马来西亚的方方面面，作为全球重要的贸易中转站，马来西亚扼守马六甲海峡咽喉，电子制造、棕榈油、橡胶产业驰名世界，更凭借英联邦教育体系和性价比优势，成为东南亚留学热门地。从双子塔勾勒的现代天际线，到槟城街头艺术家笔下的南洋旧梦，这个国度始终在传统与现代、自然与都市之间保持着迷人的平衡。
此刻，我们正以文字拥抱世界。希望本期杂志能成为一座微型桥梁，让来自南洋的风吹进书页，让宁波的心跳传向远方。下一段传奇，或许就在您翻阅下一页时悄然萌芽。

Foreign Ministry Secretary-General in Ningbo
The 31st ChinaASEAN Senior Officials' Consultation was held in Ningbo on February 13.
马来西亚外交部秘书长在宁波
Coordinated by the city's Foreign Affairs Office and Publicity Department, Amran, Malaysia's Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Senior ASEAN Official,co-chaired the consultation with the Chinese delegation. In an exclusive interview withNingboTV and Ningbo Daily, he discussed the promising prospects for collaborationbetweenMalaysia and Ningbo, particularly in port development, and explored how Ningbo could further enhance its role within the China-ASEAN cooperation framework.
At the outset of the interview, Amran expressed his admiration for Ningbo. He shared that their arrival coincided with Lantern Festival, and the harmonious blend of traditional festivities and the dazzling lights of the
modern city created a unique atmosphere, making Ningbo feel both "grounded" and "global." Amran noted that Ningbo - Zhoushan Port is the world leader in cargo throughput, while Malaysia's Port Klang ranks among the top ten global ports and serves as a key ASEAN hub. Reflecting on the history of the ports' collaboration, he pointed out thatin 2004,the two became "sister ports"; in 2015, Ningbo launched the"Maritime Silk Road Port Cooperation Forum," promoting digital shipping and green transformation; and in 2024, Ningbo's Zhenhai District and Port Klang Free Trade Zone reached an agreement to promote high-quality development, facilitating deeper integration in nine major areas, including Free Trade Zone cooperation.
In addition to traditional trade, Ningbo has demonstrated its strong capabilities in emerging industries. In April 2024, the Proton China R&D Center was established in Ningbo, exemplifying the innovative collaborationbetweenChina andMalaysia in the automotive sector. According to Amran,by expanding cooperation in areas such as auto parts supply and battery research, Ningbo can inject new momentum into the economicpartnershipbetween China and ASEAN, fostering deeper collaboration in green and digital economies. In recent years, tourism, education, and cultural exchanges between Ningbo and Malaysia have flourished, with direct flights and visa exemption policies greatly facilitating these exchanges. Amran expressed hope that the "ASEAN-China Year of Cultural Exchange" initiative would further strengthen people-to-people connections, laying a solid foundation for the future development of bilateral relations.
2月13日，第31届中国一东盟高官磋商在甬举行。经市外办与市宣传部安排，与中方共同主持商的马来西亚外交部秘书长、东盟事务高官阿姆兰接受了宁波电视台、宁波日报记者的访问，畅谈马来西亚与宁波在港口合作等领域的广阔前景，并探讨了宁波如何在中国-东盟合作框架下发挥更大作用。
采访一开始，阿姆兰就表达了对宁波这座城市的喜爱之情。他们达到宁波的当天正是元宵节，他告诉记者，传统节庆的烟火气与现代化都市的流光溢彩交织，让这座港口城市既“接地气”又“国际化”。阿姆兰了解到宁波舟山港是全球货物吞吐量“冠军”，而马来西亚的巴生港是全球十大港口，也是东盟枢纽港。他回溯了双方的合作：2004年，两个港口缔结“姐妹港”；2015年，宁波发起“海丝港口合作论坛”，共谋航运数字化与绿色转型；2024年，宁波市镇海区与巴生港自贸区达成推动高质量发展合作意向，推动自贸区联动等九大领域深度融合。港口互联互通的加强，见证着中国与东盟国家双边贸易一路上扬。去年，东盟继续保持中国第一大贸易伙伴地位。东盟是宁波第三大贸易伙伴，宁波与东盟贸易合作也日益深化。
除传统贸易领域外，宁波更在新兴产业领域展现出强大实力。2024年4月，宝腾中国研发中心落户宁波，成为中马两国汽车领域创新互动的体现。在阿姆兰看来，通过在零部件供应、电池研究等方面的合作，宁波可以为中国与东盟国家的经济合作注入新动力，推动双方在绿色经济和数字经济领域的深度合作。近年来，宁波和马来西亚之间的旅游、教育和文化交流不断加强，而直飞航班和免签政策为此提供了极大便利。阿姆兰希望通过“东盟-中国人文交流年”项目，进一步促进两地人们民心相通，为未来两地关系的发展奠定基础。

Core Competitive Advantages of Ningbo Enterprises
1.Global Synergy of Manufacturing Clusters Ningbo boasts nationally leading industrial clusters in injection molding machines, molds, and automotive components,which strongly complementMalaysia's electronics manufacturing and automotive industries (Southeast Asia's second-largest automotive market). Top auto parts manufacturer Tuopu Group established a factory inMalaysiain2018toservetheSoutheastAsianmarket, marking a critical component of its global strategy. This facility, alongside plants in Poland, Brazil, and Mexico, forms an overseas manufacturing network. In the first three quarters of 2024,Tuopu Group'sinternational revenue reached RMB 3.274 billion, accounting for 28.45% of total revenue—a 13.10% year-on-year increase—with its Malaysian manufacturing base playing a significant role.
2.DigitalPenetrationof Cross-BorderE-Commerce As one of China's first cross-border e-commerce pilot zones, Ningbo enterprises leverage data-driven strategies to precisely capture market demand. Ningbo has piloted an"agent exhibition + permanent exhibition"model at Malaysia'sKlang Giant Alliance Mall, facilitatingmarket entryfor over400wholesalers through theNingbo Premium Products Malaysia Exhibition Center and export commodityfairs,therebyacceleratingtheplacementof Ningbo-manufactured goods into RCEP markets.
3.Ecosystem Empowerment of Supply Chain Services The cooperation between Ningbo-Zhoushan Port and Port Klang, combined with innovative service models, creates an efficient supply chain network.A small household appliance enterprise in Cixi,forinstance,uses this channel to ship air fryers directly to Port Klang's overseas warehouse. This has reduced logistics costs in Malaysia fromRMB25/item toRMB12/itemand shortenedPrime member delivery times from 10 days to 3 days, driving a 300%salesincrease.
NavigatingChallengesand Cultural Considerations
While Malaysia offers numerous advantages, investors must remain mindful of the challenges associated with entering a competitive and diverse market. The growing competition from local Malaysian businesses and other international firms can pose challenges for newcomers seeking to establish a foothold.
Additionally, understanding Malaysias regulatory framework is crucial for success. Foreign investors need to navigate local laws and business practices effectively.Malaysia's multicultural environment also requires a nuanced understanding of cultural dynamics, which can significantly impact business negotiations and partnerships.
Leaders from Malaysian business groups have stressed the importance of strategic partnerships to maximise the benefits of bilateral collaboration.By fostering closer ties and leveraging each other's strengths, Chinese and Malaysian businesses can overcome challenges and achieve shared success.
Conclusion
Leveraging RCEP dividends, Ningbo enterprises are developing new growthenginesinMalaysia via a"manufacturing ^+ services" and "technology ^+ market" dual-drive approach. This strategy builds competitive "low-cost, high-efficiency, adaptable" advantages in Southeast Asia through global integration and regional specialization. As ChinaMalaysia industrial chains deepen integration— particularly in new energy vehicles and green energy—these strengths will amplify. Such practices showcase Ningbo entrepreneurs' wisdom in both shipbuilding and market navigation. The convergence of Ningbo's expertise with Malaysia's opportunities along the Malacca Strait route promises expanded horizons for both economies.

Such a diversity is reflected in various aspects of Malaysian life, including food, language, art, and traditions and has fostered a society that values inclusivity and mutual respect. Through its rich cultural heritage and vibrant arts scene, Malaysia is like the life of the party, always ready to share a dance, a song, or a story.
But despite all this diversity, Malaysians have shown an amazing ability to come together and support one another. It's like they've all agreed to be each other's backup dancers at the national dance-off. No matter what cultural background you come from in Malaysia, you're always part of the team. And that's not just a saying; it's a way of life. We celebrate each other's holidays and everyone is welcomed, including foreigners.

Describing the company's mission, she explains, "Our company's vision is to become a leading provider of engineering technology talent solutions and technical services in the Asia-Pacific region. We are technology and innovation-driven, committed to delivering successful project solutions
Sabrina Cheng is a name synonymous with leadership, innovation, and excellence in the engineering and personnel solutions industry. As the Founder and CEO of Intellis, a leading company in Asia specialising in recruitment, global mobilisation, and project solutions, she has made significant contributions to the field. Beyond her corporate success, she is also an EIC Global Ambassador and a part-time professor at Zhejiang Finance and Economics University.With two MBAs in economics and over 15 years of experience in corporate operations and strategic planning, she has built a reputation for being a visionary leader who combines business acumen with ethical leadership. Her achievements have earned her numerous accolades, including"Wisdom and Finance Lady"and "Outstanding CEO of China Professional Manager" in 2019, as well as "Zhejiang Outstanding Female Entrepreneurs"in 2023. In addition to her professional commitments, she actively engages in philanthropic efforts through the International Rotary Club.
to our clients and supporting their business development." Under her leadership, Intellis has adopted a technology-driven approach to address the evolving demands of the industry, ensuring success for both clients and professionals.
Providing personnel solutions for largescale engineering projects, both in China and abroad, presents numerous challenges. In China, an aging workforce and a shift of younger talent to emerging industries have created labour shortages, while salary disparities between different regions further complicate recruitment. Compliance risks due to local social security policies and environmental regulations can also impact project timelines. Internationally, cultural differences, supply chain vulnerabilities, and public health, crises such as COVID-19, pose additional hurdles. To navigate these complexities, Intellis has implemented data-driven strategies, such as AI talent forecasting and blockchain-based certification verification, to ensure a
steady supply of skilled professionals. The company also emphasises cultural integration by deploying HR teams fluent in local languages and traditions, reducing friction between workers and project managers. "We deploy HRBPs fluent in local languages and cultures to manage religious holidays and reduce conflicts," Sabrina notes, highlighting the company's approach to cross-cultural management. Moreover, flexible employment models and advanced compliance tools, including automated wage adjustments and GDPRcompliant data management, help mitigate risks and streamline operations.

As the oil and gas, offshore,and new energy industries continue to evolve, Intellis has adapted its recruitment and project management strategies tomeet the growing demand for specialised talent.By establishing a structured and high-quality recruitment process, the company ensures that candidates are thoroughly assessed through job analysis, resume screening, multiple interview rounds, and background checks. This rigorous approach enables Intellis to swiftly respond to client needs while maintaining high recruitment standards. Beyond hiring, the company prioritises long-term talent development by providing tailored training programmes in collaboration with clients, ensuring that professionals continuously enhance their skills and stay ahead in their respective fields."Through close cooperation with clients, Intellis can provide targeted training and development plans for candidates, helping them grow rapidly in their new positions," she explains, reinforcing the company's commitmenttocareer development.
Ensuring the quality and reliability of supplier qualification auditing and equipment inspections is crucial for overseas engineering projects. Intellis upholds world-class quality management standards and relies on a team of industry experts with over two decades of experience. These professionals bring deep international project expertise combined with a profound understanding of Chinese business culture. By integrating a robust management system with expert insights, Intellis guarantees excellence in every projectitundertakes.
Expanding into Southeast Asia has been a strategic move for Intellis, with the establishment of an office in Malaysia playing a vital role in the company's international growth. Malaysia, a key player in the oil and gas industry in the region, provides an ideal base for Intellis to be closer to its clients and gain a deeper understanding of their needs. This expansion aligns with Sabrina's vision of transforming Intellis into a trusted global enterprise in the engineering sector."Although Intellis originated in China, our vision is to become a trusted international enterprise in the engineering field," she states. The Asia-Pacific region offers a rich talent pool of highly skilled engineers, shaped by decades of major oil and gas projects. Compared to Europe and North America, engineering talent in this region is more cost-effective, making it an attractive market for companies seeking skilled professionals at competitive rates. This presents a significant opportunity for Intellis, allowing the company to build a strong talent databasewhile adhering to regulatory standards.
Embracingdigital transformation and automationhasbeencentral to Intellis' growth. Since its inception, the company has prioritised technological innovation, investing heavily in AI-driven recruitment and human resource management solutions. Leveraging the expertise of top IT professionals, including Sabrina's own brother, a leading industry expert, Intellis continues to push the boundaries of efficiency and competitiveness.
For aspiring entrepreneurs looking to enter the personnel solutions or engineeringprojectmanagementindustry,Sabrinaoffersvaluableadvice.She emphasises that while opportunities in this field are abundant, competition is intense. Some firms resort to low-price strategies or tax optimisations to secure projects, making market entry more challenging than before. As China’s engineering sector matures,businesses must focus on developing their core competitive strengths to adapt to changing market dynamics. Instead of relying on cost-cuttingmeasures,sheencourages entrepreneursto differentiate themselves through innovation, strategic planning, and ethical leadership.
Through Sabrina's Cheng leadership, Intellis has become a pioneer in the engineering and personnel solutions industry, redefining the way talent is mobilised and managed across borders. With a strong emphasis on technological advancement, strategic expansion, and ethical business practices, she continues to shape the future of engineering recruitment and project management on a global scale.

无论是在国内还是国外，为大型工程项目提供人员解决方案都面临着诸多挑战。在中国市场，人口老龄化与新兴行业对年轻人才的虹吸效应导致劳动力短缺，区域薪资差异加剧招聘难度，社保政策与环保法规的合规风险往往也会影响项目进度。国际市场层面，文化差异、供应链脆弱性及突发公共卫生事件（如新冠）形成了新挑战。对此，英特力斯建立了人工智能人才需求预测系统和区块链证书验证体系，保障技术人才稳定供给。公司还特别设立精通驻在国语言文化的HRBP团队管理宗教节日安排，“我们通过文化融合的方式减少劳资摩擦，”程淑敏强调跨文化管理之道。此外，灵活的雇佣模式配合自动化工资调节系统与符合GDPR标准的数据管理系统，都能有效控制风险，提升效率。
面对油气、海工与新能源行业的蓬勃发展，英特力斯调整了招聘和项目管理策略，以满足对专业人才不断增长的需求，通过构建标准化招聘流程—涵盖岗位分析、简历筛选、多轮面试与背景调查—确保人才精准输送，这种严格的方法使英特力斯能够在保持高招聘标准的同时迅速响应客户需求。除了招聘，公司更与客户深度合作开展定制化培训，持续提升专业人员技能水平，并保持在行业领先地位。“通过和客户的密切合作，英特力斯可以为候选人制定针对性的成长计划，帮助他们快速适应岗位需求。”程女士指出长期人才发展战略的重要性。
针对海外工程项目的供应商资质审核与设备验收这一至关重要的环节，英特力斯依托拥有二十年行业经验的专家团队，结合国际项目经验与中国本土商业智慧，执行严苛的质量管理体系，确保每个项目达到国际标准。
东南亚市场拓展中，马来西亚办公室的设立颇具战略意义。马来西亚作为该地区石油和天然气行业的重要参与者，为英特力斯提供了一个更接近客户集群并能深入了解客户需求的理想基地，这一扩张符合程淑敏对英特力斯的发展愿景。她说：“植根中国，但我们的愿景是成为在全球工程领域值得信赖的国际企业。”数十年的大型石油和天然气项自塑造了亚太地区庞大的高技能工程师人才库，相较于欧美地区，亚太工程师群体凭借丰富的重大项目经验与具有竞争力的薪酬水平，正成为国际企业竞相争取的对象，这为英特力斯构建合规化人才数据库提供了独特优势。
数字化转型始终是英特力斯发展的核心战略。自创立以来，公司持续加大人工智能招聘系统与智能人力资源管理方案的研发投入，依托包括程女士胞弟（顶尖IT专家）在内的专业技术团队，公司不断突破效率边界保持竞争优势。
对于希望进入人力资源解决方案或工程项目管理领域的创业者，程淑敏提供了宝贵建议。她强调，尽管这些领域机遇众多，但竞争异常激烈。部分企业为获取项目采用低价策略或税务优化手段，这使进入市场的难度较以往更大。随着中国工程行业的日趋成熟，企业必须专注于打造核心竞争力以适应不断变化的市场环境。她鼓励创业者摒弃单纯依赖成本削减的策略，转而通过创新思维、战略规划和道德领导力实现差异化发展。

The Vibrant Tapestry of Malaysia's Art Scene
A Harmonious Blend of Tradition and Modernity
The evolution of Malaysia's art scene is deeply intertwined with the nation's diverse cultural influences, reflecting a journey through indigenous traditions, cultural exchange, and political change. Early artistic expressions amonglocal ethnic groups included rudimentary formslike cave paintings and weaving,closely tied to rituals, beliefs, and daily life. Traditional crafts such as basket weaving, wood carving, and textile arts laid the foundation for Malaysia's artistic identity. From the 13th to 15th centuries, the region's position as a trade hub introduced influences from China, India, and the Middle East, enriching its artistic repertoire with new materials, techniques, and motifs, particularly in ceramics and textiles. These cultural exchanges underscored Malaysia's role as a meeting point of traditions.
The colonial era further transformed the artistic landscape, as European powers — including the Portuguese, Dutch, and British — brought new styles and practices. This period saw the coexistence of traditional Malay art with Western influences, especially in architecture and decorative arts, resulting in a unique hybrid aesthetic that persists today. Following independence in 1957, there was a renewed emphasis on national identity, with artists exploring their heritage through movements like Angkatan Pelukis SeMalaysia (Malaysian Artists Movement), which helped elevate Malaysian art both domestically and internationally.
One of the hallmarks of Malaysia's art scene is its seamless integration of traditional artistry with contemporary practices. In recent decades, the art scene has embraced postmodernist influences and new media, integrating technology into creative processes. Global recognition for Malaysian artists highlights the dynamism of the contemporary era, while traditional art forms remain culturally significant, providing a bridge between Malaysia's storied past and its innovative present.
The Rise of Street Art
街头世艺术
In recent years, street art has emerged as a significant and accessiblefacet of Malaysia's artistic landscape. Cities like Kuala Lumpur and Penang have become epicentres of this movement, with vibrant murals adorning urban spaces. What was once dismissed as mere graffiti has now been rebranded as a legitimate and celebrated art form.
Initiatives like the KUL Sign Festival have provided platforms for street artists, enabling their work to flourish and gain recognition. Artists such as Ernest Zacharevic have garnered international attention for their evocative murals that blend cultural and social themes. Zacharevic's works in Penang, particularly, have become iconic landmarks, drawing tourists and locals alike to experience art in an open, interactive setting. This street art phenomenon highlights the democratic nature of art and its power to connect people through shared visual narratives.

These hubs bring together a diverse range of talents, from visual artists to musicians and designers,fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.
Efforts to rejuvenate heritage buildings for artistic usefurtherdemonstrate thecommitmentto preserving the nation's cultural legacy while providing contemporary platforms for expression. These community-driven environments not only nurture emerging talents but also encourage cultural exchange, helping to position Malaysia as a vibrant centre for the arts in the region.
Challenges and Opportunities

Nonetheless, the resilience and adaptability of Malaysian artists shine through.

Moreover, the growing recognition of public art installations underscores a collective effort to enhance cultural appreciation among locals and visitors. These installations not only beautify urban spaces but also foster a deeper connection to Malaysia's artistic heritage.

Social media platforms have played a significant role in this evolution, allowing Malaysian artists to share their work with a global audience.
Art festivals, fairs, and exhibitions further highlight the diversity and dynamism of the country's creative expression.Events such as the George Town Festival and Art Expo Malaysia provide valuable platforms for showcasing talent, attracting art enthusiasts from around the world. This growing recognition reflects Malaysia’ s status as a cultural crossroads, where tradition and modernity coalesce in meaningful and innovative ways.

马来西亚艺术界呈现出一派生机勃勃的演进图景，其独特之处在于完美融合了丰厚的历史积淀与当代创新精神。这片文化沃土孕育着多元的艺术形态，从承载千年智慧的传统手工艺到锐意突破的先锋艺术，共同构筑起东南亚最具活力的艺术生态圈。
一、文化基因的传承与革新
马来西亚艺术发展史与这个国家的多元文化影响紧密交织在一起，是一部交织着本土传统、文明交融与时代变革的史诗。早期原住民的洞穴壁画与编织艺术，承载着信仰与生活的印记。竹编、木雕、纺织等传统技艺，奠定了民族艺术的根基。从13世纪到15世纪，该地区凭借其贸易枢纽的地位受到了来自中国、印度和中东的艺术影响，特别是在陶瓷和纺织品中融入了新的材料、技术和图案，进一步丰富了其艺术宝库。这些文化交流突显了马来西亚作为传统交汇点的角色。
殖民时期，马来西亚艺术格局发生新变化。葡萄牙、荷兰和英国等欧洲势力带来了新的风格与实践。这一时期传统马来艺术与西方影响并存，尤其在建筑与装饰艺术领域催生出独特的混合美学，这种特质延续至今。1957年独立后，国家身份认同得到强化，艺术家通过“马来西亚艺术家运动”（AngkatanPelukisSeMa-laysia）等运动探索文化根源，此举有力提升了马来西亚艺术在国内外的影响力。
马来西亚艺术的一大特点是传统技艺与当代艺术的完美融合。近几十年来，艺术领域吸纳后现代主义影响与新媒体技术，将数字技术融入创作过程。马来西亚艺术家获得的国际认可彰显了当代艺术的活力，而传统艺术形式仍保持文化重要性，成为连接历史积淀与创新当下的桥梁。
蜡染（batik）、金锦缎（songket)和娘惹刺绣（Peranakanembroidery等传统工艺持续承载文化价值它们不仅是历史遗存，更是经过现代表述的活化石。当代艺术家对这些古老技艺进行创新性运用，注入新理念与时代主题。这种互动创造了丰富的艺术表达，引发本土与国际观众共鸣。例如蜡染的繁复纹样现已融入现代时装与室内设计，印证了它的永恒魅力。这种新旧融合彰显了马来西亚艺术家的适应力与创造力。
