MINISTER of Infrastructure Development and Communications Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong relayed his answer to a question by Simoi Peri (BNLingga) who wanted to know the completion dates for the road upgrading projects in her constituency.

Manyin revealed that there were three road upgrading projects approved by Ministry of Rural and District Development under the NKRA programme in Lingga constituency.

“The projects include the road upgrading of Stumbin-Tanjung Bijat-Stirau, Jalan Sri Aman- Sembau-Stumbin-Lingga and Jalan Stumbin Link, which is a new inclusion,” he said.

“The architectural drafts for the three projects have been completed and the Ministry is now preparing for a tender process. The road upgrading work is expected to start in early 2011,” he added.

To a question from Nelson Balan Rining (BN-Ba’ Kelalan) who wanted to know if the government had plan to build more roads in his constituency, Manyin said there was no plan to build a road from Ba’Kelalan to Bario.

He elaborated that Bario would be connected by proposed road projects, namely Long Lama-Long Laput-Long Miri-Long Pilah-Long Nikan-Long Kesih-Long Akah road, the 40-Km Long Akah-Long Banga road and the 67-Km Bario- Pa’ Dalih-Long Banga road.
