The Kota Marudu district is driven to become the economic hub of northern Sabah, said Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili, Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation (pictured).
Dr Ongkili, who is also the Kota Marudu MP, noted that property prices boosted 35 percent in the past two years. With ten new developmentsapproved for Kota Marudu, shophouses are likely to double in the coming three years.
"The lots for the five ongoing shophouse projects have been snapped up, showing that we are on track with economic and commercial development fast taking place," he said.
He added that more business people and tourists are visiting the district, as over 10 public-listed companies are involved in their oil palm plantations.
"There is also an immediate need for more hotels here, at least of three-star rating in Kota Marudu," the MP added.
However, Dr Ongkili stressed the need for wider roads and a proper waste management in response to the growing needs of the business community and the people.
