Tensions between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are hindering Sabah’s space ambitions, as the state seeks investment from Musk for its proposed Sabah Space Centre. Datuk Mohd Hanafiah Mohd Kassim, Permanent Secretary of Sabah’s Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry, highlighted the global shortage of satellite launch platforms and high costs of rocket operations, emphasizing the focus on developing a ground-based operation site to train local talent. A study for the space centre is nearing completion, with a final report expected by July 2025, delayed due to pending government information. The project requires significant funding, likely from foreign investors, and aims to create jobs in Sabah. Pahang and Sarawak are also competing to host Malaysia’s space launch site, with final decisions pending at the federal level after state studies are presented.
