Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament, Dr. Hiew King Cheu welcomes the announcement by the City Mayor, Datuk Illyas Ibrahim on the proposed “South Bus Terminal” next to the Kota Kinabalu Airport, at Kapayan.
The proposed South Bus Terminal will receive the buses from the south (Brunei, Sipitang, Beaufort and Papar etc.), and including those from the interior districts (Keningau, Tenom and Tambunan). To stop at the Kapayan South Bus Terminal will effectively reduce the traffic volume in the city centre.
Dr. Hiew said he supports the proposal of the construction of this South Bus Terminal, and he had visited the City Hall after hearing the announcement by the City Mayor. He was briefed that the project is to be located on a piece of 30 acres land near and next to the KK international airport (KKIA), opposite the Police Headquarter in Kapayan, just next to the airport control tower. This location is definitely suitable for the bus terminal, because it is next to the airport (walking distance), easy connecting to all directions and the routes into KK city. The land area is large and adequate to house many other facilities like the terminal building, car parks and other services. The outstation cars can park here and go down to work in the KK city centre by using the connecting shuttle buses. It will effectively get at least 1000 cars off from parking at the town centre, and much saving for a lot of car owners.
DBKK wants to solve quickly the traffic congestion and the car park problem in KK City, and this is one quick way to solve the problem. The City Hall urgently needed the federal financial assistant of RM 50 millions to develop the terminal is understandable. Since the bus terminal is also the responsibility of the Federal Ministry of Transport, therefore the Minister of Transport Datuk Ong Tee Keat should respond immediately to the request from Sabah. At the mean while, DBKK will commence to clear the location for the new South Bus Terminal and fencing work.
Dr. Hiew said he will ask in Parliament when will the allocation be made? He will write to the Minister Datuk Ong on this matter, to seek his assistance to give out the grant soonest possible.

位于亚庇甘拜园的南方巴士终站
亚庇国会议员邱庆洲博士非常赞成市长拿督依利雅士所宣布有关拟议建设在甘拜园，靠近亚庇国际机场的‘南方巴士终站’的计划及地点。
该拟议的南方巴士终站的大型巴士来自于沙巴州南部地区如汶莱，实必丹，保佛和吧巴等地区，以及包括来自内地县属如根地咬 ，丹南和坦布南等地区。 设立巴士终站在甘拜园将有效地减少在亚庇市中心的交通拥堵及缺少泊车位的问题。这些问题是亚庇市长期以来未解决的难题。
邱博士说，他非常支持该建议计划，并且当市长宣布了该计划之后，他也前往市政厅听取该计划的详情，以进一步了解。 他被告知说该计划是位于亚庇国际机场左邻及在甘拜园警察总部的对面，该地约有三十多英亩，就在机场控制塔的前方。 这个位置肯定是最适合建造巴士终站，因为它是位在机场附近及步行的距离，所以很容易转搭其他地区的巴士前往市中心。 该土地面积够大，足够容纳许多其他的设施，如候车室，停车场和其他用途。 外来的上班族的车辆也可停放在这里的大停车场，然后转搭穿梭巴士前往市中心工作。 这将有效的减少至少一千多辆的汽车停泊在市中心，并且能帮助许多车主节省时间及费用。
亚庇市政厅希望能尽快的解决亚庇市中心的交通挤塞和泊车位的问题，而这南方终站将是一个最快速及有效的解决方法。 市政厅急需联邦政府的五千万马币的拨款来支援该工程。 由于巴士终站及客运也是在联邦交通部的职责管辖之内，因此交通部长拿督翁诗杰应该对沙巴州亚庇市政厅的要求立即作出反应，而不能再续拖延。 以期同时，亚庇市政厅将会开工清除该地点的建筑物及围上篱笆。
邱博士说，他将会在国会要求部长作出适当的拨款让该南方终站落实开工兴建。 他也将会呈上信件给部长拿督翁诗杰有关该项拨款问题，寻求援助。
