Kimanis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kimanis is a town in the West Coast Division of Sabah, Malaysia. It is located approximately 45 kilometres south of the city of Kota Kinabalu. Kimanis used to be the base for the American company which obtained a lease over North Borneo from the Sultan of Brunei in the late 19th century. It has a minor railway station for the North Borneo Railway.
The national oil and gas company, Petronas, proposes to build the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal here.[1] There was also a proposal to relocate the current Kota Kinabalu International Airport to Kimanis in 2006.[2] However this proposal appears to have not materialised.
