The infrastructure project's continued delays have drawn scrutiny in parliament, with lawmakers comparing the government's response to its recent decisive action on troubled institutions. Isnaraissah, the Warisan representative, highlighted the disparity in handling between the Pan Borneo Highway and other problem areas, noting the government's prompt intervention in cases involving Tabung Haji, Felda, and UiTM.
Audit findings on the Pan Borneo Highway have raised concerns about project management and timely delivery. The highway, a critical infrastructure initiative for East Malaysia, has faced repeated setbacks that have drawn public and parliamentary attention.
The MP's comparison underscores calls for greater urgency in addressing the highway's implementation challenges. Government officials have yet to provide a detailed response to the audit findings or outline a concrete timeline for resolving outstanding issues.
The Pan Borneo Highway project, which aims to improve connectivity across Sabah and Sarawak, remains a significant undertaking for the region's development agenda. Stakeholders have urged the government to accelerate remedial measures and ensure the project meets its objectives.
