KOTA KINABALU: A move to restore a long-forgotten dilapidated railway station in Sabah’s interior Melalap district some 160km from here has now turned to dust.

This railway station, which served as a key stop for agricultural producers from the interior more than a hundred years ago, was supposed to be restored starting 2019, with works already starting on the railtrack.

Unsure exactly when the building gave way to age and rot, he said he was only told about it after the incident, and when the debris had been cleared. “If restored, this railway station could have been an economic catalyst such as tourism and jobs for the locals,” said Ker.He said Sabah needs a proper heritage preservation and restoration body just like the United Kingdom’s National Heritage Trust.

Ker had been part of a group of people fighting to get this old railway station restored in 2016, and was a main figure in trying to raise funds for its restoration works.Unfortunately, no one responded.
