KUCHING, Oct 16: The Sarawak government has been urged to prioritise the continuation of road connectivity from Nanga Pelagus through Merit, Anap and Sangan to Bintulu, with the proposed route envisioned as a strategic economic corridor linking the State’s interior to industrial and port facilities, and potentially providing an alternative connection towards Nusantara, Indonesia’s new capital.
Pelagus assemblyman Wilson Nyabong Ijang made the call when debating the Sarawak Budget 2027 at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUNS) sitting today, saying the proposed corridor could open up new opportunities for trade, investment, tourism and economic cooperation between Sarawak and Kalimantan, Indonesia.
