KOTA KINABALU (April 13): Yunus Property Consultant Sdn Bhd will be collaborating with Yayasan Bumiputra Sabah Tenaga (YBS-TENAGA) Sdn Bhd in a LED Advertising Screen project which will see 4,000 of the digital advertising screens installed in major towns throughout the state.

YBS Tenaga on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with five local authorities to implement the LED Advertising Screen project in the districts they are representing.

The local authorities were Tuaran District Council, Keningau District Council, Putatan District Council, Tawau Municipal Council and Penampang District Council.

Under phase one of the project, 2,400 of the screens will be installed along the main routes of the towns by the end of this year.

“We expect the remainder to be installed by the end of this year while phase two is scheduled to commence by February next year,” he said, adding that the installation of the digital screens at main roads of the districts could help entrepreneurs increase advertising, besides raising the image and cheerfulness of the local authorities involved.
