16th October, 2012
PENAMPANG: The RM300- million International Technology Commercial Centre Penampang (ITCC- Penampang) is taking shape as structural works began yesterday.
In a symbolic ceremony of filling concrete to the pile cap performed by Sabanilam Enterprise Sdn Bhd Executive Director Datuk Seri Panglima Clarence Bongkos Malakun, its Managing Director Datin Seri Sylvia Malakun, main contractor Masenang Sdn Bhd Managing director Kong Hock Sian and invited guests, the centre is expected to open its doors in 2015.
At the ceremony yesterday, a Kadazan traditional rite, ‘poposungkad’ was performed before the pile cap was filled.
It involved the strewing of salt around the area by a village elder. This ritual is usually performed before a house is built.
Malakun said he is confident Masenang, with its good track record will be able to complete the work within 30 months.
