KOTA KINABALU: The upcoming Sabah International Expo (SIE) 2023 should also aim to attract domestic direct investment (DDI) in addition to foreign direct investment (FDI), says Datuk Seri Masidi Manjun.

The state Finance Minister said he encouraged the organisers to pull out all the stops this year as it is the 60th anniversary of Sabah's independence as well as the formation of Malaysia.
