KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said Sabah will build the 16th space launching facility in the world if a study shows positive indications.

The feasibility study is still in the early stages and would take six to 12 months and subject to further approval by the Sabah and Federal Cabinet.

“This will position Malaysia as the ninth country that has such a facility and further boost Sabah to be a leading state with potential in the context of transfer of knowledge and high-level aerospace technology in Malaysia,” he said.

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday night was held in conjunction with the Sabah Science Awards (MASS) 2023 at the Shangri-La Tanjung Aru Resort.
