According to the report, the continued political instability caused the forecast for the investment segment in 2022 to be sluggish. Sluggish recovery is also expected for the retail and office sectors, leaving only the residential market for bright recovery thanks to the property-related incentives under Budget 2022.

Bung Moktar, who is also the Sabah Works Minister, is optimistic that the plan will be able to stimulate local development as many areas near Kudat, such as Kota Marudu, Matunggong and Pitas, are still lacking in efficient infrastructure facilities.

She said with artificial intelligence (AI) technology incorporated into the building fabric, energy used to power lights, air conditioning and other electrical equipment can be tuned automatically based on the weather and number of people inside the building.

Currently, the plan to move the residents to PPRs is in a distant location. Community Development Leader (PPM) Reduan Aklee disagreed with such a plan. Instead, he suggested LPPB relocate them to nearby PPRs.

The group said the 18-month project will start on Feb 14. It did not disclose who awarded the project to the company.
