Public Accounts Committee wants answers why progress is slow after over RM10 billion in public funds or nearly 95% of project’s cost spent, with completion date pushed to 2030 from 2021
Land acquisition delays and changes in project implementation methods have led to slower progress in the construction of the Pan Borneo Highway in Sabah compared to Sarawak.
To expedite the implementation of this highway project, Anwar announced that a new appointment process through transparent tenders would be initiated and that the decision would be made jointly with the Sabah state government to appoint contractors capable of completing the project.
The federal government has proposed the implementation of a pre-qualification tender process to speed up the works listed in the remaining packages under Sabah's section of Pan Borneo Highway Phase 1 development.
This allegedly involves cabin services, cargo and logistics, engineering and maintenance, as well as the commercial division, according to Scoop’s source
