KUCHING, Nov 10: Three villages in Kuching are set to enjoy safer and more comfortable journeys, with RM287,000 allocated under the 2026 Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) to upgrade roads in Kampung Trombol (Phase 2), Kampung Temenggong and Kampung Sri Kandong (Phase 6).
According to a report by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas), Kampung Trombol and Kampung Sri Kandong will each receive RM100,000, while Kampung Temenggong has been allocated RM87,000.
All three projects are being implemented by Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), with a two-month completion period from Oct 29 to Dec 28, 2026.
Deputy Minister in the Sarawak Premier’s Department (Project Coordination for Regional Development Agencies, Kuching North City Hall and Islamic Affairs) Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Junaidi witnessed the handover of the projects to the contractors during a site visit yesterday (Nov 9).
At Kampung Trombol, the works include road base construction, premix surfacing and three coring tests to ensure pavement quality.
Similar works will be carried out at Kampung Temenggong, where the project also includes road base construction, premix surfacing and four coring tests.
Meanwhile, the Kampung Sri Kandong project involves the construction of sub-base and road base layers, premix surfacing, three coring tests and the installation of a five-metre-long high-density polyethylene (HDPE) culvert pipe to improve drainage.
Upon completion, the projects are expected to provide safer and more comfortable road conditions, while making daily travel and access to surrounding areas easier for residents.
The upgrades also form part of efforts to strengthen basic infrastructure in village communities and improve their overall well-being. — DayakDaily
