Ministry of International Trade and Industry

Minister Mustapa Mohamed who is attending the 22nd meeting of the APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade (MRT), expressed his concern over the rising trend in protectionism and emphasized the need for the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to monitor closely this trend.

Minister Mustapa said this in response to the update by the Director General (DG) of the WTO on the progress since the last WTO Ministerial Meeting in Nairobi in December 2015. The WTO DG highlighted the importance of building upon the momentum achieved in Nairobi to move the multilateral negotiations forward. Minister Mustapa stressed that at a time when global growth is sluggish, there is a tendency for some countries to be more inward looking. It is important to ensure that the benefits of a more open trading system are not negated by these measures. He highlighted Malaysia’s commitment to implement the Information Technology Agreement expansion (ITA2) by July 2016, and urged other members to do the

SUCCESS STORYKota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP)

Located north of Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah, Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP) is a state government project that has been designated as the nucleus of growth for the state. Its purpose is to facilitate both economic development as well as the optimum utilisation of the state’s natural resources.

Occupying an area of 8,320 acres, the park falls within the Knowledge Corridor of Sabah, where the highly advanced Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and a host of training and research institutions are located.

The Conceptual Master Plan for KKIP provides a comprehensive self-contained industrial township that is modern and environment-friendly. A good transportation network will be developed to link up with the container terminal at Sepanggar Bay and the major highways. A wide-range of commercial centres are also planned within the township including retail outlets and shop houses within the industrial areas.Together with its solid infrastructure, enviable location and sound logistics, KKIP is poised to catalyse growth not only for the state but also for investors in East Asia Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) and beyond.

KKIP, which is divided into clusters, namely wood-based, food, metal, rubber and plastic, logistic, warehousing, electronic and electrical, automotive, ceramic and other industries hopes that in the next four
