Brunei keen to invest in SDC

KOTA KINABALU, 16th April, 2009 : Brunei is exploring the possibility of investing in the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC), said Awang Matusin Orang Kaya Sura Tuba, the leader of a delegation comprising thirty senior government officials who visited the state.

“All of us would like to get to know better as to what the SDC can offer potential investors from Brunei.

“It is our responsibility to disseminate this information to the business community in Brunei so that they can benefit from the opportunities available in the SDC,” he said after paying a courtesy call on the Institute for Development Studies Sabah (IDS) here, yesterday.

Awang Matusin said while the delegation’s main task was to identify areas for participation in the SDC initiatives, this was particularly so with regard to the possibility of developing the Brunei Bay.

“Among the areas that we are looking at includes the aquaculture and seaweed industry. Another possibility is developing tourism activities in the Brunei Bay, especially the homestay industry,” he added.

Awang Matusin, who is also the Temburong district officer in the Ministry of Home Affairs, said the development of the Brunei Bay would also promote growth along the Muara district.

“If a proper link is developed between Temburong district and Muara, it would help enhance economic activities between Brunei and Sabah,” he explained.

Earlier, the delegation was briefed on the SDC by IDS director Datuk Dr Mohd Yaakub Hj Johari.

In his briefing, Mohd Yaakub told the delegation that the possibility of developing the Brunei Bay was put forward to the Sultan of Brunei during his visit to Sabah in February this year.

He said that the Sultan was very receptive to the idea of developing the Brunei Bay and showed keen interest in collaborating with Sabah for this purpose.

Also present at the briefing was IDS Executive Director, Mohd. Hasnol Ayub.
