The Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has announced it will undertake a comprehensive investigation into the management of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway project, a major infrastructure initiative in East Malaysia.
PAC chairman Mas Ermieyati Samsudin confirmed that the committee will summon representatives from the Works Ministry, the Public Works Department (JKR), and other agencies involved in the project to provide testimony and documentation.
The probe represents part of the PAC's ongoing mandate to scrutinise government spending and project execution. The committee's investigation will likely examine project timelines, budget allocation, procurement procedures, and overall implementation oversight.
The Pan Borneo Highway is a significant regional infrastructure project designed to improve connectivity across Sabah. The PAC's examination follows standard parliamentary procedures for reviewing large-scale government projects and ensuring accountability in public fund management.
Further details regarding the committee's investigation timeline and specific focus areas are expected to be announced following initial witness testimonies.
