KUCHING, Oct 8: The Ministry of Works (KKR) is taking seriously the 13 findings in the Auditor-General’s Report concerning Phase 1 of the Pan Borneo Highway (LPB) Sabah project, said Works Minister Dato Sri Alexander Nanta Linggi.

He said the findings, which include project delays, cost increases, weaknesses in planning and non-compliance with regulations and guidelines, would serve as lessons for the ministry to improve the implementation of the Pan Borneo Highway Sabah and other federal government development projects.

“As of August 25, 2026, only four of the 35 work packages under Phase 1 of the Pan Borneo Highway Sabah had been completed, while the remaining 31 packages are still under implementation,” he noted in a statement posted on his social media on Wednesday (Oct 7).
