KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has launched an investigation into the management, financial governance and physical implementation of Phase 1 of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway project following revelations in the Auditor-General’s Report (LKAN) Series 2/2026.
PAC chairman Datuk Mas Ermieyati Samsudin said that from 2016 to March 31, 2026, RM10.547 billion, or 94.6 per cent of the RM11.153 billion allocation, had been spent, although the project’s physical progress was far behind schedule.
She disclosed that the 706-kilometre (km) project, comprising 35 work packages, was expected to be fully completed by the end of 2021, but only four work packages, or 11.4 per cent, had been completed.
