CHIEF MINISTER Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Hj. Aman commended the Sabah Urban Development Corporation (SUDC) for its success in carrying out its role as a government-linked property developer in Sabah.

In his speech delivered on his behalf by Assistant Minister of Resource Development and Information Technology, Datuk Jainab Ahmad Ayid at SUDC’s 40th Anniversary at Magellan Sutera Harbour Resort, the Chief Minister said SUDC should continue to play its role to provide the catalyst of urban development as a government development agency.

“I appreciate SUDC's the contribution and commitment to the development of the state and at the same time contributed to the socio-economic and wellbeing of the people,” he said.

SUDC was incorporated in 1972 and as a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Sabah Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO), it has carried out various development programs as a developer of commercial buildings, industrial estates, residential and urban satellite townships and housing units in various parts of Sabah. It is particularly noted for the many shop houses that it built to sell to Bumiputra entrepreneurs to enable them to open up retail shops, coffee shops and restaurants

"I believe that such success is not an easy thing to achieve especially in the face of so many challenges,” he said.

Chairman of SUDC, Datuk Juslie Ajirol said, “SUDC is proud to be able to play its part in contributing to the development of the capital city and other major towns in the State such as in the construction of the Darvel Bay Plaza in Lahad Datu, Wisma Perindustrian at Likas, Promenade Hotel and Ming Garden Hotel in Kota Kinabalu as well as Eastern Plaza in Tawau and a 4.49 hectare estates in Labuan."

Apart from that, Juslie said SUDC strived to build quality homes for the present and next generation that will last for years to come.

He said the residential development comprises medium-cost and luxury housing such as the houses at Taman Milik, Kingfisher Park, Marina Court Resort Condominium, Beautiful Court, Lok Kawi Heights and Kingfisher Cove.

Like most corporate celebrations these days SUDC has in its programme a ceremony to make good its corporate social responsibility (CSR) in the form of a cheque amounting to RM15,000.00 each in favour of a a Community-based Rehabilitation Center in Papar, the San Damiano Girls Hostel in Kiulu and the Korea Food for the Hungry International.
