KUCHING, Feb 29: The Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has introduced the Fast Lane Initiative, aimed at attracting more industrial and commercial developments to the Padawan jurisdiction area.
According to MPP, the move, which was unveiled during the MPP Strategic Planning Workshop conducted in January 2024, offers an investor-friendly approach that will enhance economic growth and unlock the potential of the Padawan area.
