KOTA KINABALU (Jan 17): Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor envisions Sabah as a potential regional hub for manufacturing, maritime and transportation for emerging and developed countries.
He said Sabah is the land of endless potential owing to its strategic location in the middle of Southeast Asia and in the heart of the Brunei Darussalam–Indonesia–Malaysia–Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA).
“Through this subregional cooperation, Sabah has been on the forefront of promoting closer economic collaboration.
“Sabah will be doing its part to ensure the success of the revival plans among them the BIMP-EAGA Economic Corridors development.”
Likewise, he said the Sabah–Sarawak 275 kV Interconnection Power Exchange Agreement supports the Borneo Grid and complements the Trans Borneo Power Grid Sarawak–West Kalimantan Interconnection Project, both vital to the ASEAN Power Grid project.
“This would boost Sabah’s power supply system.
“A stable electricity supply in addition to water will directly increase both domestic and foreign investments apart from supporting the growth of industrial manufacturing and upstream sectors as well as creating employment opportunities in the heavy and light industrial sector.
