Builder to include railway mini museum

Kota Kinabalu: A mini museum or galleria will be integrated into the Aeropod project to commemorate the current Tanjung Aru railway station, which has been in existence since the North Borneo Era."The original design and concept for the Sabah State Railways Department (JKNS) station and headquarters include the provision of the mini museum or galleria. Currently, coordination meetings with JKNS to make this a reality are still ongoing," said Aeropod Deputy General Manager Chan Tah Seong.

The first phase of the RM3 billion mixed development project by SP Setia, which includes the preparation of the infrastructures as well as the construction of the JKNS headquarters at the present station, is nearing completion, Chan said.

He said the first stage of developing the new railway station was done with the new workshop and a block of staff quarters in Kinarut.
