Inanam is a
town and sub-district of Kota Kinabalu in
Sabah, Malaysia. It is situated 10km
from Kota Kinabalu city centre.
The town population consists of mainly the Dusun, and the Chinese who
operate the shops. Of late however there is a large influx of immigrants
both from the southern Philippines and Indonesia. Many of them are
illegals and live in squatters. A considerable number of them however were
controversially naturalised and relocated into low-cost housing
settlements provided by the Malaysian government.
Kota Kinabalu City (North) Bus Terminal is located in Inanam. 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.
