History
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]
Demography
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]
