KUCHING, Oct 22: Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian has rejected the suggestion that development projects are being carried out for electoral gain, saying development in Batu Kawa has continued regardless of election cycles.
“Look at Batu Kawa. We are constantly carrying out development.
“Election or no election, we do,” he said when asked whether development projects were being carried out in view of the upcoming Sarawak Election during a site visit to the Stampin Resettlement Scheme Flood Mitigation Project in Jalan Stampin Baru today.
Dr Sim, who is also Minister for Public Health, Housing and Local Government, said much of the development in Batu Kawa had been completed over the past decade, with projects implemented progressively as funding became available.
