Datuk Dr. Hajah Rosmawati Haji Lasuki, J.P.

Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) stands as a strategic asset for East Malaysia — a modern, purpose-built facility positioned along the South China Sea, designed to support large-scale international meetings, exhibitions, and conferences. As the largest convention venue in Borneo, SICC plays a pivotal role in advancing Sabah’s presence within the global Business Events industry and strengthening its position as the gateway to East ASEAN and the Asia Pacific.

Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) is the largest purpose-built waterfront venue in Borneo, and a premier destination for international conferences, exhibitions, and incentive programmes. Located in Kota Kinabalu, SICC offers over 60,000 square metres of flexible event space across five levels, including a grand convention hall, multiple exhibition halls, breakout rooms, and outdoor event areas, all framed by the stunning coastline of the South China Sea.

At the core of this development is Datuk Dr Hajah Rosmawati Hj. Lasuki, J.P., Chief Executive Officer of SICC. With over 40 years of service under Yayasan Sabah Group, her career reflects a steady progression through leadership roles that span policy, operations, and strategic planning. She brings with her a deep understanding of institutional governance, regional development, and the long-term value of business events in strengthening economic resilience.

Datuk Dr Rosmawati began her career in the public sector in 1984 and has since held over 20 leadership positions across various portfolios. She has represented Malaysia at global conferences and trade missions and played a key role in positioning SICC as a destination-ready venue built to international standards.

Her approach to leadership is grounded in strategic foresight and stakeholder engagement. Under her guidance, SICC has become a platform for economic opportunity, enabling local SMEs, suppliers, and talent to connect with and benefit from international trade and collaboration.

As CEO, Datuk Dr Rosmawati continues to advocate for Sabah’s integration into regional and global business events networks. Her leadership reflects a commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and sustainable growth — qualities essential to elevating Sabah as a competitive business events destination at the heart of East ASEAN and Asia Pacific.
