Develop Tawau as a destination: Chamber
Published on: Thursday, June 05, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 05, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: Chia said that in order to make Tawau a city that visitors would want to stay in and explore, he believes a comprehensive effort is needed to improve its tourism capacity and overall image. TAWAU: Tawau should not remain merely a 'transit hub' for local and international tourists. Instead, it needs to be developed into another attractive destination in Sabah. Tawau Chinese Chamber of Commerce (CCCT) President Chia Siong Fatt said Tawau actually has a lot to offer, with its natural beauty and unique culture for people to enjoy. Among them are tropical rainforest national parks, world-class fruit plantation, a multicultural heritage, affordable fresh seafood, historic old alleyways, and its reputation as a key centre for Malaysia's cocoa and chocolate production. However, he said all these resources had yet to be successfully integrated into a well-organised and appealing tourism product. As a result, tourists arriving at Tawau Airport (LTT) tend to head straight to Semporna, which is more internationally recognised. Subscribe or LOG IN to access this article.

Postpone imposing charges on gensets: Warisan
Published on: Thursday, May 22, 2025 Published on: Thu, May 22, 2025 By: Lagatah Toyos Text Size: Justin said in the peninsula the average duration of power outages per capita is 46.1 minutes, whereas in Sabah, Seda's target for 2030 is 100 minutes, which means the people would still have to wait for another five years. TAWAU: State Government should consider postponing the implementation of imposing charges on the use of electricity generators (gensets) at residential and commercial premises in Sabah, even though the policy is backed by legislation. This is because the cost of doing business in Sabah is significantly higher than in Peninsular Malaysia, as traders have to bear losses due to poor infrastructure. Sri Tanjong Assemblyman Justin Wong said the additional charge only adds to the burden of the people, who are already struggling. He compared the special treatment given to foreign investors in Sabah and questioned why local traders are not granted the same privilege. He said the Energy Commission of Sabah ( ECoS) had previously clarified that the requirement to register gensets is not a new policy, but part of the implementation of the Electricity Supply Regulations 2024 and the charges imposed include equipment inspection costs, efficiency testing, site visits and annual fees. Justin raised concerns about whether the Government truly understands the people's hardships before implementing such a policy. Advertisement 'Before enforcing such a policy, the Government should first ensure a stable electricity supply. Equipment damage and the psychological effects of prolonged outages should not be taken lightly,' he said. He said the genset charge policy should only be implemented once the power supply had stabilised. Justin said in the peninsula the average duration of power outages per capita is 46.1 minutes, whereas in Sabah, Seda's target for 2030 is 100 minutes, which means the people would still have to wait for another five years. 'This duration is still twice as long…Is this something the people of Sabah can accept?' Justin asked. He added that after five years under the State Government's administration, Sabah's electricity supply remains unstable. 'We can see for ourselves that last year, there were multiple outages across the state. This year, within less than six months, Tawau has already experienced three major blackouts. 'This not only affects the people's economy but also impacts their emotional and mental health,' he said. At the same time, he said the increasing resilience of Sabahans toward power outages is seen as a consequence of ineffective policies. 'Power outages have become so commonplace that people are resigned to being indifferent,' he said. 'This is one of the effects of an ineffective policy, that is, deep psychological impact that often goes unnoticed,' he added. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
