KUCHING, Oct 14: The construction of SMK Balingian, which has been categorised as a “sick project”, needs urgent intervention to get it back on track, says Balingian assemblyman Dr Abdul Yakub Arbi.
Debating the Sarawak Budget 2027 at the State Legislative Assembly (DUS) sitting today, he called on the implementing agencies to prioritise the project, speed up construction and provide a clear completion schedule.
“I hope the implementing agencies will give this project priority, accelerate its completion and ensure there is a clear timeline so that it will not face prolonged delays,” he said.
He also stressed that the effectiveness of the state budget should be assessed based on its implementation and the benefits delivered to the people, rather than the size of its allocations alone.
