LAHAD DATU: Lahad Datu has strong potential as a rocket or satellite launch site for the Southeast Asian region.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said it would take few years for the plan to happen.
“If this materialises in the next two or three years, Lahad Datu will attract many visitors,
including space scientists, to the district.
"This will certainly become an economic catalyst for Lahad Datu,” he said at the thanksgiving ceremony and Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2026 open house here.
The celebration was hosted by Datuk Abdul Hakim bin Gulam Hassan at Dewan Sri Perdana Lahad Datu here.
Based on final studies conducted by the Sabah Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry, Lahad Datu is the most suitable district for a rocket or satellite launch site.
Meanwhile, Hajiji said the State Government will not only continue to bring development to Lahad Datu, but will also prioritise the well-being of the people in the district.
“I had intended several times to visit Lahad Datu, especially before the last election.
"However, due to unavoidable circumstances, I was unable to campaign here. That’s alright, we still have the parliamentary elections next year.
“What is important is that our people here remain united and choose the government party for our common good."
