Kota Kinabalu: The Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP) is expected to have more investment and development coming in to complement the expansion of Sepanggar Bay Container Port (SBCP).

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Dr Joachim Gunsalam said under the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025), the KKIP is scheduled to develop specific industrial clusters in tandem with the SBCP expansion.

“KKIP plans to capitalise on the spin-offs from the logistics and transhipment activities while continuing to focus on import substitution industries and also downstream industries related to automotive, halal and food manufacturing, green technology, aerospace, Free Economic Zone as well as logistics and distribution,” he said at the KKIP Chinese New Year 2023 celebration here today, according to a statement.
