Kota Kinabalu: The State Government will ensure that the need for burial land for Muslims and non-Muslims residing within the city perimeters gets due attention.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Haji Noor said City Hall and the Land and Survey Department have been asked to identify suitable vacant lands in Inanam, Menggatal and Kepayan for use as burial grounds.“The existing cemetery is getting full day by day and the population is also increasing. So we need a new cemetery in this city to meet the needs for next 30 or 40 years.
At the ceremony, Hajiji announced the approval of the land next to the Taman Sempelang Islamic cemetery of 2.14-acre owned by DBKK for burials.“Today, in addition to handing over of the Kampung Sembulan Islamic cemetery gazette, I would like to inform the people of Sembulan and Tanjung Aru that the open land that used to be for DBKK in Taman Sempelang has been turned into the Islamic cemetery of Kampung Sembulan and Tanjung Aru.
Hajiji also disclosed a plan to develop the area near Harbour City under proposed mixed development if the original owners agree, including constructing housing park specifically for them.
