The month-long Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) Ramadan Expo 2022 is expected to provide opportunities to local small traders to generate income, said Industrial Development Assistant Minister Mohd Tamin Zainal.
“This was launched in conjunction with the Ramadan month and it is hoped that it will help traders market their products, including food items. The response was very good so far.
“Besides that, we also want to help the traders to resume business after the last two years as they had to close their business due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“A total of 32 stalls have been set up and I see there are still some who have not started business yet but it is understood that they will all start on Sunday in conjunction with the first day of Ramadan this year,”
He said when met by the media at KKIA, here, Saturday
KOTA KINABALU: The state government-linked Sabah Economic Development Corporation (Sedco) will take the lead in flood mitigation management for flood-prone Beaufort district, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
Hajiji said this would include proposed measures to deepen the Padas River there and realign its riverbanks, among other measures. On the part of the state government, we will take into consideration all proposals because we are not going to relent in our efforts to address the flood problem in Beaufort, ” he added.
Beaufort was one of the districts in Sabah inundated following downpours and high tides last week, but the district is known to be flood-prone, especially if heavy rains occur at the interior divisions of Tenom and Keningau as rainwater flows down the rivers towards Beaufort.
