Elopura Assemblyman Calvin Chong said the government had provided the Sandakan Municipal Council with an allocation of RM5 million for the construction of the new Muhibbah Market and the MPS had also identified a site for the construction of the market. “The market is the focus of many due to its location, but it was built with only mud floors and rough stones in addition to being covered with a canopy bought by the traders themselves.
“According to the answer given by the KKTP during the meeting at the State Legislative Assembly recently, the MPS will carry out maintenance work only for the problem of stagnant water in Pasar Muhibbah. I really hope that the works can be done immediately to provide a comfortable site for traders and also visitors at Pasar Muhibbah,” said Calvin. He added that he hoped with the approved allocation they would be able to carry out the construction of the new Muhibbah market immediately.
