Kota Kinabalu: A manufacturers’ group has suggested that the old Kota Kinabalu Port be restored to ease congestion at Sepanggar Port.
Federation of Malaysia n Manufacturers Sabah branch Chairman James Ha said the Government should carry out the restoration immediately to allow ships to load and unload there. “Although the old KK port has been planned to be transformed into a cruise port, it is especially urgent to restore the port to its original role during this emergency situation.
“Sepanggar Port is currently undergoing expansion and the Government should assist the contractor in resolving technical issues to accelerate the project’s progress.“The congestion at Sepanggar Port prevents cargo ships from docking on time, seriously affecting Sabah’s manufacturers and leading to escalating costs.
“Due to the severity of congestion issues at ports across the State, FMM suggests that the Government should ‘temporarily’ suspend plans to attract foreign investors, especially large corporations, until the situation improves.
