KOTA KINABALU: Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Ewon Benedick says the proposed Sabah Investment Plan (SIP) by Invest Sabah will be submitted to his ministry before being presented as an official input for the Sabah Maju Jaya 2.0 development roadmap.
He said the SIP outlines a clear five-year strategy to position Sabah as a competitive investment destination and must align with the state’s broader economic targets.

Ewon told reporters after visiting Invest Sabah at Plaza Shell on Monday that coordination between Invest Sabah and Sedia should be strengthened to ensure both agencies have clear roles in promoting investments and developing industrial parks.
He added that investment promotion must extend beyond existing parks in Kota Kinabalu, Sipitang, Lahad Datu, Kota Belud, Kudat and Kimanis to ensure benefits reach all districts across Sabah.
Ewon said his ministry will continue working closely with federal agencies and expand investment promotion to markets in Southeast Asia, Europe and other strategic regions, expressing confidence that Invest Sabah will remain a key driver of domestic and foreign investments.
