Mandahan set to become local administration centre for Kimanis - Anifah Aman

● Monday, January 9, 2012

Kimanis will soon become a full district in the coming years, thanks to the Petronas’ multi-billion Ringgit Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) project. Mandahan, a quiet village which is nearest to the site, is set to become the administrative front for Kimanis.

Turning point for a quiet town

*Mandahan River
KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s quiet southwestern town of Mandahan is set to spring to life if a proposal to turn it into the local administration centre for Kimanis comes through.

Works are in the pipeline to turn Kimanis, about 45km from here, into a full district this year and Mandahan is seen as the best to act as the administrative front, being the closest to Petronas’ multi-billion Ringgit Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT).

The district’s MP Datuk Anifah Aman, who is also Malaysia’s Foreign Minister, said it was only fitting to make Kimanis a district in order to better handle the rapid development due to the lucrative oil and gas industry there.

“We hope the dream will be realised this year, to be announced by the Chief Minister Datuk Musa Aman,” he said.

Thanks to the 52ha SOGT and the spin-offs the industry brings, Anifah said Kimanis has boomed tremendously and Mandahan will be the perfect location to operate as a one-stop-centre, much like a District Office,

Datuk Musa Aman
 “Having a district office (in Mandahan) would also make it easier and cost-effective for people from nearby areas such as Membakut and Bongawan instead of going to Papar or further to Kota Kinabalu,” he added.

    Hopefully with the setting up of the district office in Mandahan would not only make it easier and cost-effective for people from nearby areas such as Membakut and Bongawan to conduct official affairs aand transaction with the government, but also in turn it will spur development within thin its vicinity as well as the vicinity of KIMANIS

    Soon, everybody knows where is Mandahan. Once this place becomes prominent, nearest residents will get more advantage especially if they are doing business. This place will be an attraction.

    Our local Sabahans should try to get involved in the oil and gas industry by getting equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills in the sector. The Kimanis SOGT will help take Sabah's oil and gas to another level, hoped that everything goes smoothly.
