MIRI, Oct 28: A special allocation of RM10 million has been approved to repair flood-damaged roads in Miri, particularly in Senadin, Permyjaya and Riam.

According to a TVS report, caretaker Minister for Transportation Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin said the allocation was secured following a special appeal to the Sarawak Government after floods earlier this year damaged several major roads in the affected areas.

“The RM10 million allocation is for the rehabilitation of roads affected by floods. The tender was called and closed on Oct 13. I hope work can begin next month,” he told reporters during a site visit to Jalan Indah 3, Permyjaya, here today.

Lee said repairs would be carried out in stages, prioritising roads with serious damage, while resurfacing works on other roads would continue as needed.
