Inanam is a suburb and sub-district of Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) from the city centre.

History

OKK Majimbun Majangkin is considered one of the key player in Inanam development.^[1] During World War II, Inanam was the base where the Kinabalu Guerillas led by Albert Kwok operated to fight the Japanese.^[2]

Demography

The town population consists of mainly the Dusun, and the Chinese who operate the shops. Of late however there has been a large influx of immigrants both from the southern Philippines and Indonesia. Many of them are undocumented and live as squatters.^[3]^[4] A considerable number of them however were controversially naturalised and relocated into low-cost housing settlements provided by the Malaysian government.^{[citation needed]}^[5]

Accessibility

Kota Kinabalu City (North) Bus Terminal is located in Inanam which become part of the BRT Kota Kinabalu.^[6]

Economy

A substantial part of the sub-district near the town centre consists of a light industrial area. Towards the interior, traditional Dusun villages scatter the hill slopes, with fruit orchards and rubber smallholdings.
