Sabah launches utility corridor to drive strategic infrastructure growth
Abidin (centre), representing the Chief Minister, officiating the launch gimmick for the Sabah Utility Corridor at the Marriott Hotel in Kota Kinabalu on Friday. KOTA KINABALU (July 4): The State Government has taken a bold step to strengthen infrastructure delivery in Sabah with the official launch of the Sabah Utility Corridor (KUS), a strategic initiative aimed at catalysing systemic development across the state. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Hajiji Noor said the establishment of KUS is not merely the creation of a new entity, but a strong reflection of the government's commitment to fast-track development, streamline utility coordination and attract fresh investments into Sabah. 'KUS has been mandated to function as a one-stop agency to expedite utility work permit processes and develop a comprehensive state-wide utility asset database,' he said in his keynote address delivered by Datuk Abidin Madingkir, Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister, at the official launch at Marriott Hotel on Friday. He noted that this initiative aligns with the Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) Development Plan, which prioritises inclusive development and the delivery of services that are efficient, transparent and future-ready. With the integration of digital technology and a unified utility mapping system under KUS, Hajiji said project approvals will be accelerated, overlapping of work can be reduced, and field safety will be enhanced. 'This approach will have a significant impact not just on the smooth execution of government and private sector projects, but also supports Sabah's digitalisation agenda, investment competitiveness and smart city development,' he said. He added that this is a clear example of how public-private sector synergy can yield high-impact solutions for the people. Hajiji also emphasised that improved coordination of utility processes would unlock more areas for development, which in turn would stimulate economic activities and create employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas. 'Projects like this will reinforce industrial logistics and expand access to basic amenities such as electricity, clean water and telecommunications for our rural communities,' he added. Hajiji also called on all staff of KUSSB and Qhazanah Sabah Berhad to carry out their duties with professionalism and unwavering commitment, ensuring the corridor brings real benefits to the people. 'We've laid a solid foundation. Now is the time to execute it with courage and conviction,' he stressed.
