Key development challenges:
•
High cost of doing business – poor infrastructure and high freight costs
•
Shortage of critical mass of human capital
•
Highest incidence of households living in poverty
2. High cost of doing business mainly due to high shipping costs and poor infrastructure
•
Shipping costs: low originating cargo, low ship call frequency and double handling
•
Unreliable electricity supply and shortage of water supply
•
Poor road and rail connectivity leading to high transportation costs
3. Shortage of talents in strategic sectors; and heavy dependence on foreign labour
4. Largely rural, with a poverty rate of 23% (6.5% hardcore poor).
5. Gross Domestic Product: Sabah’s GDP of RM15.1 Bn is 7th largest in Malaysia
6. GDP per capita in 2005: RM5,100 ; Malaysian average: RM9,800
7. Monthly household income in 2004: RM2,487; Malaysian average: RM3,249
8. Unemployment is currently at 5.8%; Current workforce is 1.198 million (2006),
9. Population: 3.1 million (2006)
10. Education: 79% of persons aged 6 and over attended school (national av: 90%)
Sabah Development Corridor 2008-2025:
The National Context: Issues and Benefits
•
Narrow-base of national export: too dependent on electronics, oil &
gas and palm oil
•
Relatively weak resource-based industries
•
Widening income inequality
•
Employment growth lagging behind economic growth
•
Relatively weak linkage between economic growth and poverty
incidence
•
Lack of human capital in strategic sectors
•
Heavy dependence on foreign labour in agriculture and construction
KLSE COMPOSITE INDEX: JANUARY-DECEMBER 2008
39% Decline over the period
WORLD ECONOMY ‘WEAKEST SINCE 30’s:
the United Nations
The United Nations says “the world economy faces its
worst downturn since the Great Depression... [and]
expects world economic output to shrink by as much
as 0.4% in 2009, due to a slump among developed
countries - particularly the US and in Europe. …
“This would mark the world economy's first year of
contraction since the 1930’s”
“The eurozone economy will
shrink 1.9% in 2009 and grow by
only 0.4% in 2010….”
(the European Commission, 2009)
(Source: the BBC)

activities, the presence of global
companies and a strong base of
local SMEs
Phase 3 (2016-2025)
Expansion
An attractive destination for
FDIs with strong supporting
infrastructure, global companies
and knowledge workforce
January 2008
The vision for Sabah is to be a vibrant, economically

Rationale
Position Sabah as the
premier eco-adventure
destination
• Leveraging on Sabah’s natural endowment
• Tapping on fastest growing segment of tourism industry; ecotourism growth of 20% compared to 7% for overall tourism1
Develop new tourism
products anchored by
signature resorts
• Moving towards high-yield market
• Leveraging off their marketing efforts and loyal customer base
Market Sabah as the
exclusive holiday home
destination
• Increasing demand for exclusivity among the rich and famous –
Sabah is still largely undeveloped unlike Phuket and Bali
• Extending length of stay of high-end visitors

Encourage rural
participation through
community-based
tourism

Three main strategies for manufacturing sector...
Manufacturing Strategy
1
Enhance basic
infrastructure, focus on
reducing cost of doing
business
• Basic infrastructure is crucial to operational efficiencies of
manufacturers
• Cost of doing business is fundamental to investors’ choice of
location
Invest in human capital
for existing and new
industries
• Skilled manpower is key to manufacturing competitiveness
• Systematic approach to matching industry needs with supply of
human capital via fine-tuning current education and training
courses
Attract world class
companies in high
value add downstream
activities
• Leverage Sabah’s natural resources as feedstock raw
materials
• Elevate the standards of local SMEs supplying to world class
companies
• Serve as a draw for talent and quality FDIs (management and
technical knowhow) into Sabah
