Utusan Malaysia reports on the significant progress of the Pan Borneo Highway project in Sabah, a crucial infrastructure development for the state. Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Maslan announced that nine key packages of Phase 1A are slated for full completion within this year. This accelerated timeline, with some packages finished ahead of schedule, underscores the government's commitment to enhancing connectivity and facilitating smoother transportation for the people of Sabah. The project, which aims to connect major areas and alleviate traffic congestion, is progressing with a clear roadmap, with further phases and packages scheduled for completion through 2030. The minister also highlighted the upcoming opening of two new packages in July, designed to bypass the Kota Kinabalu city center, offering a much-needed alternative route. This development is particularly important for Sabah, as improved infrastructure is seen as vital for economic growth and the overall well-being of its residents. Utusan Malaysia emphasizes that such projects are a testament to the government's dedication to realizing the aspirations of the people and ensuring that development reaches every corner of the nation.
I want to inform something that has not yet been announced to the public, which is that nine work packages for Pan Borneo Sabah Phase 1A will be completed in 2026.
