Speaking to reporters after officiating at the opening of the bridge last night, Abang Johari said the proposal was deeply meaningful to him and his family. 'First of all, I would like to thank the entire community in Satok, and people of various backgrounds in this area, for their heartfelt gesture in remembering the spirit and legacy of my late wife,' he added. He acknowledged his late wife as someone who stood firmly beside him throughout his decades of public service in Satok. 'It is true that she was always behind me, especially in my service to the people here in Satok,' he added. Abang Johari said when the suggestion to name the bridge after Juma'ani was brought forward, he had no hesitation in supporting it. 'I did not think twice. I just want to sincerely thank the villagers and community members who, through their elected representative, made this proposal,' he said. The proposal was first made during the launch ceremony by Deputy Minister for Utility (Sarawak Energy and Petros) and Satok assemblyman Datuk Ibrahim Baki, who described it as a gesture of appreciation for Juma'ani's dedication and service to the people of Satok. During the ceremony, Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas also expressed full support for the renaming, saying it was a fitting tribute to Juma'ani's contributions. The RM50.6 million bridge, located along Jalan Datuk Ajibah Abol, was officially launched in a ceremony held at the bridge site at 8.30pm last night. The Sungai Bintangor Bridge spans 114.34 metres and features a four-lane dual carriageway and pedestrian walkways, supported by 32 cable stays from a central tower standing 52.1 metres tall. The structure includes architectural details and carvings inspired by local design elements, further enhancing its visual impact. Construction began in December 2019 but faced delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and issues related to underground utilities. it was partially opened to the public in February this year.
