KUCHING, Nov 27: Bintulu MP Dato Sri Tiong King Sing proposed for the 18km road from Jalan Tun Hussein Onn to Jalan Tanjung Kidurong to be upgraded from four lanes to six lanes, including the Flyover Jalan Tanjung Kidurong to Jalan Nyabau.
According to Tiong in a statement today, the upgrading project has been long-awaited by the residents and should be included in the 12th Malaysia Plan (RMK12).
