Kinarut Town
20km south of Kota Kinabalu City
is one of the train stops along the Railway
 

Kinarut town has two old wooden shop houses which architectural styles dated back to the early 20th century.

The town flourished as a result of the world's demand for rubber and the subsequent construction of the North Borneo railway line by the British.
In its glory days, the Kinarut Rubber Estate established during 1910-1911 was the biggest rubber estate on the west coast division of North Borneo, after Sapong Estate.

These weather-worn, dilapidated shop houses in Kinarut town are no longer inhabited by their original Chinese families. Most of the shop lots are currently sub-divided and rented out to small business owners of various ethnicities.

Along the shore, the receding high tide leaves tonnes of rubbish lie on the beach, each and every single item silently whispering the name of some uncivilized culprit who discarded it somewhere far away long ago before finally finding its way on this once beautiful beach.......

1,200 Gaya islanders to relocate to Kinarut
Thursday, September 25, 2014
About 1,200 people at Pulau Gaya will be affected by a government plan to develop the island and will be relocated to a 20-acre area at Kg Gusi, Kinarut.

These local islanders will be resettled in five-storey apartment-style housing that is being built in the village.

The housing project, which is one of the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC) projects, is funded by the Federal Government. A 20-acre land in Kg Gusi has been identified as the site for the housing project that is expected to be completed end of 2015. Once the first phase is completed, the second phase involving the construction of 940 units would kick off and several public facilities like a hall and a mosque would be built.

 

"We carried out a study on the island since 2011 and identified about 1,200 islanders are locals who would be affected by the Government's plan to develop the island.....Hence, these islanders will be relocated and resettled in Kinarut whereby a housing project under the Federal Government costing RM57 million in the first phase will see the construction of 420 units,"
