He said this in response to a question from Rolland Duat Jubin (GPS-Meluan) during the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting today.
To another supplementary question, Aidel revealed that the project is estimated to cost RM22 million.
'For the estimated cost of the project, and considering the project ceiling is RM25 million, we are working within a projected budget of RM22 million,' he said.
