The Ministry of Finance (MoF), in a Facebook post today, highlighted that under the MADANI government’s administration, major infrastructure projects have resumed, including the RM13.9 billion Pan Borneo Sabah Highway.
“In addition, the improvement of basic facilities is also being undertaken, including the development of the Sabah Heart Centre at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital.
