SEMPORNA: The Sabah state government is set to bring in investments worth
RM1 billion for Lahad Datu, Semporna and Tawau.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal named the investor as Hap Seng
Group.
"I have met with the investor, Hap Seng Group. They are no stranger to
Sabah, with numerous investments in various sectors.
"They have said they wanted to invest in existing sectors including palm oil
and cement; I also stated that they must have investment focus and the state
government would provide guidance," he told reporters after attending an
Aidilfitri open house at Padang Bandaran Semporna here today.
Mohd Shafie, who is also state Finance Minister, said the state government
was also looking at bringing in investments to Sipitang and Papar.
Meanwhile, he said the state government would take the initiative to ensure
that title deeds were duly issued to villagers who had applied for land for
more than 50 years.
"Just one thing I ask of you, do not sell the land but develop it for your
grandchildren," he said.
In another development, he said the state government had no qualms about
letting opposition parties utilise facilities such as community halls albeit
on a rental basis.
"I have directed (Sabah Local Government and Housing Minister) Datuk Jaujan
Sambakong to allow the opposition to use any community hall in the state
although they have to pay rent.
We don't want to inconvenience the public although we (Warisan) had been
criticised and prevented from using such facilities," he said.
Shafie also said the state government would implement further drastic
measures for Sabah's development, to be announced soon.
One of the measures that he had taken upon becoming chief minister was to
revamp Sabah Foundation, and halt logging activities.
The Semporna Parliamentary Constituency Aidilfitri open house was also
attended by state cabinet members and about 15,000 residents in the area. —

Tawau and Kalabakan to become seafood and fruit hubs for Sabah
TAWAU: As a new leader in Sabah, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Shafie Abdal
said he wanted to see Tawau and Kalabakan become seafood and fruit hubs for
the state and to have more furniture and wood factories.
Shafie said he had directed the Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry to
ensure Tawau became a seafood hub as there were many things to be exploited
from its sea.
On the planting of fruit trees, he said the soil in Tawau and Kalabakan was
suitable as it was volcanic and the fruits produced would be sweeter than in
any other district.
Shafie said both districts could become fruit suppliers and it would provide
jobs for the people as there would be many multiplying effects such as
transportation, packaging, marketing and trade.
He said it was not that Tawau could not be developed, but all this time it
was ‘sleeping’ and now with the many people representatives, they could help
develop the district.
Shafie said there must be cooperation among the parties as the districts had
potential to be developed and he would make changes by giving employment to
locals and this was why he prohibited the export of timbers.
“I have already discussed with several quarters to ensure that furniture
factories and wood factories would be more, especially in Tawau and
Kalabakan for job opportunities,” he said yesterday during the breaking of
fast at Al-Kauthar Mosque.
Shafie said he had already stated to the federal government that he wanted
20 percent of the oil royalty as he wanted to provide employment and manage
the education sector as the state should not be left behind in education.
He said he did not want to see local youths leave Sabah to look for jobs as
the richness of the state could benefit the people.

Tawau the soon to be Free Trade Zone of Sabah
Assistant Rural Development Minister Datuk Tawfiq Abu Bakar Titngan said in
March 2007 that Tawau is a suitable and strategic site to .be turned into a

would augur well to the overall future development of Tawau. “We are seeing
a brighter future for the district due to the caring attitude of the Federal
Government,”
When the free trade zone is implemented, many industries will come to Tawau
and this will spur the growth of the district to a larger dimension. Every
industry including the hospitability and food business will benefit from a
free trade zone
