Miri’s RM75 mln lagoon theme park to anchor Kenyalang Smart City as premier tourism landmark

MIRI, Aug 28: The RM75 million lagoon theme park at Kenyalang Smart City (KSC) in Miri is set to become a new landmark for tourism and lifestyle in Northern Borneo.

Designed to elevate Sarawak’s presence on the international tourism map, the project is in line with the Sarawak Government’s Post-Covid Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030, which positions tourism as a key driver of economic growth.
According to reports from the Sarawak Public Communication Unit (Ukas) and TVS, the project was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Imasa Dinasti Sdn Bhd (IDSB) and CM Waterparks, a global leader in theme park design and manufacturing, marking a significant milestone in realising this vision.

Imasa Dinasti chairman Teo Ah Khing said the nine-acre development will feature a concept built around safety, sustainability, and educational value.

The modern, world-class park will be able to accommodate more than 6,000 visitors at a time and is expected to attract both domestic and international tourists, generating strong economic activity.

“The development is also anticipated to create new job opportunities and deliver spillover benefits to the local community in Miri,” Teo said during the MoU exchange ceremony held at the KSC office site in Senadin on Tuesday (Aug 26).

More than just a leisure destination, the Lagoon Theme Park will also emphasise education, with initiatives such as the Children’s Life Skills Role-Play Programme designed to nurture a competitive and resilient younger generation.

By blending entertainment, education, and innovation, the project strengthens the vision of Kenyalang Smart City as a smart and sustainable urban hub. It is also poised to stand as a symbol of pride for Miri and a premier tourism landmark in Northern Borneo.

“When Kenyalang Smart City is fully completed, it will not only provide living and working spaces but also a balanced lifestyle supported by world-class recreational facilities,” Teo added.
