KOTA KINABALU, March 28 — Sabah Energy Corporation Sdn Bhd , which is wholly owned by the state government, reached a milestone today with the official launch of its micro liquefied natural gas facilities at the Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park.
He expressed confidence that the micro LNG facilities, which have a daily capacity of 35 metric tonnes, would help boost the state’s economy and industrial sector by supplying gas facilities to small and medium enterprises in Sabah, particularly in the east coast, as well as creating job opportunities for local Sabahans.
However, the chief minister said the state government would identify Sabah’s other resources and raw materials to diversify the economy and ensure sustainable industrial development. This will ensure that state revenue is not entirely dependent on the timber and plantation sectors.
