KIMANIS, Jan 10 ― The appointment of Sabah Public Works Department as the project delivery partner for the Pan Borneo Highway project in the state, is to end the involvement of private companies run by political parties under the previous Barisan Nasional administration. Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal said prior to the appointment of Sabah JKR, the role of the PDP was played by Borneo Highway PDP Sdn Bhd which was managed by a political party leader.
He said under the BN administration, the implementation of the highway project had recorded cost of RM26 million.“Tun M agreed to cancel the previous PDP and appoint Sabah JKR as the new PDP. The state government has also set up a committee chaired by State Secretary Datuk Safar Untong to oversee the implementation of the project,” he said at the leader-meets-people programme at Kampung Kuala Mandahan Mosque here yesterday.
It also said that another three additional new packages were expected to be completed by the end of 2023 and that the project has continued to be implemented even after the government terminated the contract of the PDP on September 21 last year. ― Bernama
