KOTA KINABALU, May 4 — The iconic Jesselton Artisan Market will be revived, revealed Minister of Industrial Development and Entrepreneurs Phoong Jin Zhe.
“I am looking at Jesselton Artisan Market issue very seriously, especially with the suspension of the event since December 2022. It has been almost half a year and more than 100 entrepreneurs were affected. “Following the discussion, my ministry is willing to take over the market, make it as a government initiative and bring business to the vendors. We are doing this because we rarely see creative market in Sabah, and JAM is the most iconic market for art lovers. We must revive it,” he said.
