Sabah mulls relocation of Kota Kinabalu central market

The Sabah government is considering three new locations to relocate the Kota Kinabalu central market, with no final decision made yet.

The proposed new market aims to include various activities and facilities beyond a conventional public market.

A working paper on the proposal will be prepared by Kota Kinabalu City Hall before Cabinet consideration, and no cost estimates are available yet.

KOTA KINABALU, Sept 14 — The Sabah government is mulling three new spots for the relocation of the Kota Kinabalu central market from the heart of the city.

Chief minister Datuk Hajiji Noor who visited and inspected two of the proposed sites – along Likas Bay and near Alamesra, said that no final decision had been made on its suitability or the location of the new market.

The third proposed site is in the area of Darau, some 20km from the city centre.

“The government has plans to relocate this central market from the middle of Kota Kinabalu, so that is why we came to see and inspect the proposed site.

“The government will consider and decide which site is suitable for us to build the new Kota Kinabalu central market,” he told reporters after visiting the site.

Hajiji said the proposed new market was envisaged as more than a conventional public market, with various activities and facilities incorporated into the development like both dry market and wet market, a cultural, local and tourism products centre, hawkers centre and fish wharf.

Hajiji visited a 40-acre piece of state land along Jalan UMS in Alamesra and the second proposed site located on a mixed-commercial land belonging to the Local Government and Housing Ministry near Kampung Likas along Tun Fuad Stephens coastal road adjacent to Anjung Selera.

Hajiji said the Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) would first prepare a working paper on the proposal before it was brought to the Cabinet for consideration and a decision, saying that the proposal was still in its early stages.

“What is important is that we ensure which site is suitable for building a fairly large and good market, not just an ordinary public market.

“The market to be built will encompass all activities near the market, as we saw at the site earlier. That is the concept,” he said.

Hajiji also said no decision had been made on what would happen to the existing central market site after the relocation.

He said any proposal for the old site would come from the city mayor.

“That proposal will come later from the city mayor on what will be done there. We don't know yet,” he said.

Hajiji also said no cost estimate was available yet, as the government was currently only assessing potential sites.

“The value has not been determined. It is only the site for now,” he said.

沙巴州政府正在考虑三个新的地点来搬迁亚庇中央市场，但尚未做出最终决定。

拟建的新市场旨在包含除传统公共市场之外的各种活动和设施。

在内阁审议之前，亚庇市政府将就该提案准备一份工作文件，目前尚无成本估算。

哥打基纳巴卢，9月14日讯——沙巴州政府正在考虑将哥打基纳巴卢中央市场从市中心迁至三个新地点。

首席部长拿督哈吉吉·诺尔视察了两个拟建地点——里卡斯湾沿岸和阿拉梅斯拉附近，他表示，尚未就新市场的适用性或选址做出最终决定。

第三个拟建地点位于达劳地区，距离市中心约 20 公里。

“政府计划将这个中心市场从亚庇市中心迁走，所以我们才来考察拟建地点。

“政府将考虑并决定哪个地点适合我们建造新的亚庇中央市场，”他在视察完地点后告诉记者。

哈吉吉表示，拟建的新市场不仅仅是一个传统的公共市场，其发展融合了各种活动和设施，例如干货市场和湿货市场、文化、本地和旅游产品中心、小贩中心和鱼码头。

哈吉吉考察了位于阿拉梅斯拉 Jalan UMS 的一块 40 英亩的国有土地，以及位于坎蓬里卡斯附近、沿敦富阿德·斯蒂芬斯沿海公路、毗邻安绒塞莱拉的一块属于地方政府和房屋部的混合商业用地上的第二个拟建地点。

哈吉吉表示，亚庇市政厅（DBKK）将首先就该提案准备一份工作文件，然后再提交内阁审议和决定，并称该提案仍处于早期阶段。

“重要的是，我们要确保选址适合建造一个规模较大、设施完善的市场，而不仅仅是一个普通的公共市场。

“即将建成的市场将涵盖市场周边所有活动，正如我们之前在现场看到的那样。这就是我们的理念，”他说道。

哈吉吉还表示，搬迁后现有中央市场所在地将作何处置，目前尚未做出决定。

他说，任何关于旧址的提议都将由市长提出。

“市长稍后会提出关于该地将如何处理的方案。我们现在还不知道，”他说。

哈吉吉还表示，目前还没有成本估算，因为政府目前只是在评估潜在的选址。

“目前还没有确定其价值，它现在只是一块地皮而已。”他说。
