KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 — The Ministry of Works (KKR) is taking seriously the 13 findings in the 2026 Auditor-General’s Report (LKAN) on Phase 1 of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway (LPB) project and will use them to strengthen project delivery and the implementation of other Federal government development projects.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the National Audit Department (JAN) findings included project delays, cost increases, weaknesses in planning and non-compliance with regulations and guidelines.

He said as of Aug 25, only four of the 35 work packages under Phase 1 of the Sabah LPB have been completed, while the remaining 31 packages are still under implementation, with physical progress at 89.01 per cent for Phase 1A, 37.58 per cent for WP09 and 23.96 per cent for Phase 1B.
