Phase 1 of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway project remains incomplete and prolonged delays have inflated costs by more than RM1 billion, according to the auditor-general’s report that was tabled in Parliament, reported The Star.
As of March this year, only four of the 35 work packages at a cost of RM567 million have been completed, while the remaining 31 work packages valued at RM16.319 billion were still under implementation, with nine classified as sick projects and 13 were behind schedule, the report wrote.
The auditor-general’s report, Series 2/2026 that was tabled in Parliament yesterday stated that the project was planned in 2015, with construction originally scheduled to take 69 months from April 11, 2016 to December 31, 2021.
