KUCHING, Oct 27: Contractors handling the Pan Borneo Highway project in Sabah could face contract termination if they fail to address implementation issues, as the government pushes for the project’s completion by 2030.
Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi acknowledged public concerns over delays and said monitoring had been intensified to address implementation issues.
“I understand the public’s concerns over delays to this project. That is why monitoring has been intensified, implementation issues are being addressed directly, and firm action, including contract termination, may be taken against problematic contractors,” he said.
Nanta said this in a statement shared on his social media following his winding-up speech on the 2027 Budget for the Ministry of Works (KKR) in the Dewan Rakyat today.
