KUCHING, Oct 29: The Jalan Mendu Upgrading Project is now scheduled for completion in November, with Kuching South City Council (MBKS) Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng urging the contractor to finish the works as soon as possible to ease inconvenience for road users.
Wee said MBKS had been monitoring the project closely and had requested a revised schedule with a shorter completion period, stressing that the council wanted the contractor to expedite the remaining works rather than wait until the new deadline.
“The schedule shows they will be finished by November. But I told them, please do it as soon as possible,” he said during the press conference for MBKS BBQ evening today.
Wee explained that terminating the existing contract and appointing a new contractor could delay the project by at least six months, in addition to other administrative complications.
