KINABATANGAN (Bernama): The Sabah East Zone of the Pan Borneo Highway Project is expected to be a catalyst for socio-economic development, especially for small traders operating along the alignment of the project.
The residents involved, when met by Bernama on Friday , said the highway should be more than merely a transportation system, as the project was expected to rejuvenate the socio-economy of the areas involved if the highway alignment was properly planned.
"So for me and the residents here, we are really in favour of the highway as it makes it easier for us to move around, but at the same time we ask that they plan it well so that all residents can benefit fully," she said here today. Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin said on Thursday that contractors for the WP15, WP28, WP29 and WP30 packages had been appointed and that implementation work was to be carried out immediately after the launch and expected to be completed in 2024.
"At first, we were worried about having to make way for the project but with its alignment lying next to the Agro Bazar, it is convenient for highway users to stop here for rest, meals and buy local goods which will profit traders here," she said.
