Inanam

OKK Majimbun Majangkin is considered one of the key player in Inanam development.^[1] During World War II, Inanam was the base where the Kinabalu Guerrillas led by Albert Kwok operated to fight the Japanese.^[2]

The town population consists of mainly the native Dusun as well as the Bajau and the dominant minority Chinese who operate the shops.^{[citation needed]} However, there has been a large influx of immigrants both from the southern Philippines and Indonesia. Most of them are undocumented and live as squatters.^[3][4] A considerable number of them however were controversially naturalised and relocated into low-cost housing settlements provided by the Malaysian government.^{[citation needed][5]}

City Bus Terminal (North), Kota Kinabalu is located in Inanam which become part of the BRT Kota Kinabalu.^[6]

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.^{[citation needed]}
