KOTA KINABALU: The relocation of Indonesia's capital to Kalimantan may not bode well for Sabah, says a think tank.

Institute of Strategic Analysis and Policy Research deputy chairman Dr Pamela Yong said this was because of several factors such as lack of facilities and connectivity to the new capital.

She said the people of Borneo often have to use connecting air transport despite the close proximity with one another. With this, she said Sabah had to play the lead – or at best a supporting role in development in tandem with or ahead of Kalimantan – in order not to become insignificant. Dr Yong said Sabah would be left with an ageing population and there would be a need for a mechanism to curb the outflow of workersm, which could affect Sabah's productivity.
