Modern township set to transform Kinabatangan into East Coast growth hub

KOTA KINABALU (July 29): Kinabatangan is set to make history with the development of a modern township, Bandar Seri Milian, which is poised to become a catalyst for rural progress and economic upliftment in the region. This high-impact development is the result of a strategic collaboration between the Kinabatangan District Council and private developer SUNMOW Construction Sdn Bhd, encompassing a mixed development over 157.48 acres in Kota Kinabatangan town. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for August 15 at 2pm, at Dataran Terminal Terbuka, Kota Kinabatangan, and will be officiated by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor. Community Development Leader for Lamag, Johainizamshah Johari, said the Bandar Seri Milian project will be implemented in three phases over a 15-year period, with a Gross Development Value (GDV) of RM366 million. Significantly, he noted that the project is fully funded by the developer, with no financial burden or land collateral required from the local authority. Key components of the project include modern and affordable housing, essential infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity supply, a new administrative centre for the Kinabatangan District Council, educational institutions, a community hall, recreational areas, and designated business, commercial, and light industrial zones. Johainizamshah emphasised that Bandar Seri Milian is not just a physical transformation but a symbol of the government's commitment to holistic development in rural areas. 'Under Hajiji's leadership, the state government is determined to ensure the people of Kinabatangan enjoy access to modern amenities, economic opportunities, and an improved quality of life,' he said in a statement on Tuesday. The project aligns with the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development blueprint, which promotes balanced development between urban and rural areas and aims to ensure inclusive prosperity. He also expressed confidence in the developer's track record in delivering large-scale, self-financed projects, adding that it would ensure smooth execution. 'This is an investment for the future. Bandar Seri Milian will emerge as a new growth hub, attracting investors, creating jobs, and stimulating the local entrepreneurship ecosystem. 'The development is expected to generate lasting socioeconomic benefits for Kinabatangan and elevate the district into a key growth centre on Sabah's East Coast,' he said.

MEF welcomes Thailand-Cambodia ceasefire

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) has welcomed the immediate and unconditional ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia, calling it as timely amid rising global uncertainties. MEF president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said Malaysian employers, particularly those with regional operations, supply chains and investments in both countries, were grateful for the ceasefire, brokered through the "tireless efforts and leadership" of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. "At a time when employers are grappling with an increasingly complex global business environment, marked by slowing global trade, ongoing geopolitical tensions and recent disruptions linked to the United States tariff rates, this ceasefire is a welcome and much-needed development," he said in a statement today. He added Malaysia maintained substantial trade and investment ties with both Thailand and Cambodia. "Thailand is one of Malaysia's top trading partners in Asean, with bilateral trade exceeding RM100 billion annually. Many Malaysian companies operate factories, logistics hubs and retail outlets in the country. "Cambodia, while smaller in volume, is a growing trade partner. Malaysia's total investments in Cambodia surpassed RM 12.6 billion in recent years, particularly in the construction, banking, agriculture and telecommunications sectors. "As such, any instability in Thailand and Cambodia poses real risks to business continuity, supply chains and regional confidence." Syed Hussain said the swift de-escalation would ease concerns raised among members of the Confederation of Asia-Pacific Employers with direct operations or investment interests in both nations. "This proactive resolution helps prevent further commercial losses, supply chain disruptions and reputational risks that can emerge from prolonged conflicts. "Employers across the region, particularly those in labour-intensive manufacturing, agribusiness, logistics and cross border retail now have the opportunity to continue operations without disruption, while maintaining the safety of their workforce and facilities." He added that MEF reiterated its support for all regional efforts that protect business continuity, promote peaceful engagement and encourage robust intra-Asean economic cooperation. "MEF looks forward to continued stability in the region and encourages all parties to sustain this momentum towards lasting peace and mutual prosperity. Yesterday, Cambodia and Thailand agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire amid an ongoing border conflict. The announcement followed a special meeting involving Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, hosted by Anwar in his capacity as Asean chair. The ceasefire took effect starting midnight on July 28.
