Sabah targets RM100b GDP by 2030 through investment, industrial growth, says CM

KOTA KINABALU, Oct 29 — Sabah is pursuing various initiatives to achieve a gross domestic product (GDP) target of RM100 billion by 2030 under its Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) development agenda, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

He said the state government was focusing on implementing industrial development plans, attracting investments and providing essential infrastructure, including a stable, reliable and affordable energy supply.

“When investors consider building a factory or conducting large-scale operations in Sabah, they need to know whether we can provide an adequate supply of electricity and gas, what the costs will be, and when such supplies can be made available,” he said.

The text of his speech was read out by Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Ceasar Mandela Malakun at the opening of the Sabah Energy Corporation (SEC) Annual Planning Conference here today.

Hajiji said Sabah’s gas supply had the potential to increase from approximately 700 million standard cubic feet per day to 1,350 million standard cubic feet per day by 2030, based on the Long-Term Gas Supply and Transmission Plan presented to the state government last September.

He added that the proposed development of gas resources along Sabah’s east coast would create new opportunities for power generation and industrial growth in the region.

Hajiji also highlighted progress in strengthening Sabah’s participation in the energy sector through the Commercial Collaboration Agreement (CCA) with Petronas, signed in December 2021.

He commended SEC’s financial performance and its efforts to expand operations through the Progressive Energy Transformation Agenda (PETA 2030).

He also called on government-linked companies (GLCs) and state agencies to enhance cooperation to accelerate project implementation and prevent investment opportunities from being lost. — Bernama

哥打基纳巴卢，10月29日讯——沙巴首席部长拿督斯里哈吉吉·诺尔表示，沙巴正在推行各项举措，以期在沙巴进步再也（SMJ）发展议程下，实现到2030年国内生产总值（GDP）达到1000亿令吉的目标。

他表示，州政府正致力于实施工业发展计划，吸引投资，并提供必要的基础设施，包括稳定、可靠和价格合理的能源供应。

他说：“当投资者考虑在沙巴建厂或进行大规模运营时，他们需要知道我们能否提供充足的电力和天然气供应，成本是多少，以及何时可以提供这些供应。”

今天，在沙巴能源公司（SEC）年度规划会议的开幕式上，首席部长助理部长拿督凯撒·曼德拉·马拉昆宣读了他的演讲稿。

哈吉吉表示，根据去年九月提交给州政府的长期天然气供应和输送计划，到 2030 年，沙巴的天然气供应量有可能从每天约 7 亿标准立方英尺增加到每天 13.5 亿标准立方英尺。

他还补充说，拟议中的沙巴东海岸天然气资源开发将为该地区的发电和工业发展创造新的机遇。

哈吉吉还强调了沙巴州通过与马来西亚国家石油公司 (Petronas) 于 2021 年 12 月签署的商业合作协议 (CCA) 加强其在能源领域的参与所取得的进展。

他赞扬了美国能源部 (SEC) 的财务业绩及其通过“进步能源转型议程 (PETA 2030)”扩大业务的努力。

他还呼吁官联公司和政府机构加强合作，加快项目实施，防止投资机会流失。——马新社
