KOTA KINABALU: A move to restore a long-forgotten dilapidated railway station in Sabah’s interior Melalap district some 160km from here has now turned to dust.

This railway station, which served as a key stop for agricultural producers from the interior more than a hundred years ago, was supposed to be restored starting 2019, with works already starting on the railtrack.
