TUARAN: 11 November 2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every district in Sabah should develop and promote tourism products and experiences with distinctive identities as part of preparations for Visit Sabah Year (VSY) 2027, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said Tuaran had attractive beaches, recreational centres, cultural and natural heritage, as well as economic activities involving agriculture, fisheries and tourism that could be further developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hajiji said the opening of the Tuaran River Conservation Project and the New Tuaran Town Car Park demonstrated the government\u2019s continued commitment to ensuring comprehensive development, encompassing both modern infrastructure and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the Tuaran River was one of the district\u2019s important natural assets, not only for its environmental significance but also because it formed an integral part of the lives and history of the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the challenges posed by climate change and riverbank erosion required proactive government action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, river conservation efforts must be undertaken seriously to ensure that the area remained clean, well-preserved and free from activities that could damage its environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hajiji said the design of the bridge constructed under the project was inspired by the traditional bubu fish trap, a fishing tool closely associated with the lives of the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the Tamu Tuaran Bridge would not only serve as a new landmark for Tuaran town but also connect communities across the river with the Tamu Tuaran area, while facilitating the movement of residents, particularly pedestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the new car park, he said the facility was provided in response to the rapid economic growth and increasing activities in Tuaran town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the growing number of vehicles, particularly on tamu days and weekends, often caused traffic congestion, while the town continued to attract people carrying out their daily activities, including business and commercial transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
