Deputy Director Lee Tai Hung praised the invaluable contributions of JD Logistics’ employees, noting their crucial role in advancing China’s logistics capabilities. This celebration also provided an opportunity to deepen the collaboration between JD Logistics and Malaysia. Richard Liu, known for his global outlook, has strategically expanded JD’s operations internationally, including establishing new warehouses in Malaysia. This expansion has significantly reduced delivery times to under 24 hours in some cases, a testament to JD Logistics’ efficiency.

The newly launched China-Malaysia JD Express service, promises to further enhance the customer experience for Malaysian consumers by optimizing logistics services. As JD continues to scale its operations in Southeast Asia, Liu’s vision of integrating global supply chains and expanding JD’s international presence continues to materialize, with Malaysia playing a pivotal role in this expansion.

During their stay, they will visit key destinations such as Kuala Lumpur, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka, immersing themselves in Malaysia’s vibrant culture and diverse cuisine. This experience, sponsored by JD Logistics, serves as a powerful reminder of the company’s commitment to rewarding its top performers with not only financial benefits but also enriching experiences.
