The Sabah Government has officially launched the Sabah Utility Corridor (KUS), aimed at streamlining utility coordination and accelerating infrastructure development across the state.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, in a speech delivered by Assistant Minister Datuk Abidin Madingkir, said KUS would serve as a one-stop agency to fast-track utility work permits and consolidate the state’s utility asset database.

He said the initiative aligns with the Sabah Maju Jaya roadmap and is expected to improve service efficiency, transparency, and project delivery through digital technologies and integrated mapping.

Hajiji added that KUS will enhance safety, reduce overlapping works, and support Sabah’s digitalisation, investment appeal, and smart city plans through public-private sector collaboration.

He also noted the project would boost industrial logistics, create rural job opportunities, and improve access to electricity, water, and telecommunications in underserved areas.
