KUCHING: The RM2.48 billion Kuching City Flood Mitigation Plan Phase 2 is on track for physical implementation from 2027 to 2033, with its 6km Sungai Sarawak bypass expected to protect 470,233 residents and 47,264 hectares in Greater Kuching upon completion.
Minister of Public Health, Housing and Local Government Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian said a Value Assessment (VA) and Value Engineering (VE) Workshop had been scheduled for early November 2026 to advance the landmark flood protection project.
“The department will work closely with the federal government to ensure the project begins on schedule.
“The RM2.48 billion Rancangan Tebatan Banjir (RTB) Bandaraya Kuching Fasa 2 (Pakej Penuh) is a landmark investment in Kuching’s flood protection,” he said during his ministerial winding-up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUNS) sitting today.
