Inanam is a small town in the state of Sabah in Malaysia . Inanam belongs to the outskirts of the capital Kota Kinabalu and is assigned as a sub-district of the administration of Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (City Council Kota Kinabalu).

Demographics

The number of inhabitants of the suburb in 2010 was 3604 inhabitants. The proximity to Kota Kinabalu is reflected in the mixed population. While the Dusun group dominated in earlier surveys, in 2010 their share was only 19%. The Bajau dominate the population with 21%, while the Chinese make up 15%. Recently, the city has seen a dramatic increase in population from immigrants from the Philippines and Indonesia. Although a significant number of them now have Malaysian citizenship, the proportion of illegal immigrants is high. Many immigrants have been forcibly naturalized and many of them live in cheap apartments that the Malaysian state has made available.

history

From 1913 the North Borneo Chartered Company settled a smaller group of Lutheran Hakka Chinese from the province of Canton here at the instigation of the Basler Missionsgesellschaft . The total of about 600 people were distributed to Kudat , Menggatal , Telipok and Inanam and provided with a loan and tools. These beginnings were the basis for the still strong Chinese community of these four places.

city

Kota Kinabalu's northern bus station is in Inanam. A significant part of the outskirts is characterized by local trade and small-scale industrial settlement. The center of Inaman consists of traditional Dusun buildings and runs through the foothills of the hills with fruit plantations and small natural rubber companies.

The city is connected by the Jalan Tuaran and Jalan Lintas to the center of Kota Kinabalu , ten kilometers away . The next suburb is Menggatal .
