: A RM300 million allocation has been channelled to the Sarawak Land and Survey Department for land acquisition related to the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road project, said Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan.
“The remaining 275.5 km will be completed by 2025,” he said during his winding-up speech at the Sarawak State Legislative Assembly today. That 77 km stretch from Kampung Gelugus in Lawas to the Long Lopeng Junction is expected to be completed in 2026. Awang Tengah also said for the Second Trunk Road/Coastal Highway project, RM220 million allocated by the Sarawak government enabled the Land and Survey Department to complete land acquisition for a 255.6 km stretch.
