“As the Sarawak government’s main technical agency, the department will ensure every phase of this project will be implemented professionally with integrity in accordance with the highest engineering standards.
“This visit also provided us with the opportunity to inspect the site’s readiness and coordinate technical aspects with the contractor and implementation team,” he said.
He added that in line with the slogan ‘We build for you’, Sarawak JKR is committed to the continued contribution to the State’s development through big-scale projects and can benefit the people. — DayaDaily
