SELANGAU (June 11): The state government aims to have the construction of SMK Selangau as well as a new road to Selangau bazaar to be completed earlier than scheduled, said Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas. He said this was to speed up the delivery of facilities to the people and ensure the two projects are not only completed according to specifications but also ahead of schedule. 'We are very happy to see the progress of the projects which seems to be going well according to the original schedule. The road was originally scheduled for completion in 12 months. 'However, we have asked the contractor to complete it within six months as we see the good weather factor and that the work is not that difficult,' he told reporters after visiting the road project site here yesterday. According to Uggah, who is Minister of Infrastructure and Port Development, the road measuring about 450 metres and costing RM3.5 million will provide easy access to the bazaar as well as help stimulate the local economy. On the SMK Selangau project, Uggah said the project, which is funded by the federal government, is also progressing well, moving at about five per cent ahead of schedule. 'This project involves the construction of 18 classrooms at a cost of RM81 million and is expected to be completed by June 2027. However, we also asked for the Public Works Department (JKR) and the contractor to work out the work plan to complete it by December 2026. 'The project is sited on a good location — it is not sited on peat soil or hilly area, and the construction is also using Industrialised Building System. We do not see any reason why they cannot do it any faster,' he said. He said that JKR would monitor the progress of all projects extensively to ensure there are no delayed or sick projects. Uggah also said the state government would not hesitate to terminate the contract of any project that fails to be completed according to schedule. 'All projects that have been approved by our Premier must be implemented according to schedule. That is his hope. The people also expect that when a project is announced, it will be built and completed as scheduled,' he said. Accompanying Uggah was JKR Sarawak director Dr Cassidy Morris. ahead of schedule development project douglas uggah embas smk selangau

New Selangau road, school to be completed ahead of schedule
SIBU: The construction of a new road to Selangau town and SMK Selangau is targeted for earlier completion, to expedite the delivery of facilities to the people, says Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas. He said the state government aimed to ensure that both projects not only met specifications but were also completed ahead of the stipulated timeframe. 'This road, which provides new access to Selangau town, is supposed to be completed within 12 months, but we have asked for it to be finished within six months. 'The weather conditions are also good, and the work is not too difficult. I hope the Public Works Department (JKR) will continue to monitor the progress of this project comprehensively,' he told reporters after visiting the project site today. According to him, the 450-metre road construction project, valued at RM3.5 million, is fully funded by the state government. It will provide direct access to Selangau town without the need for a long detour from the Pan Borneo Highway, thereby improving traffic flow and benefiting local residents. Uggah, who is also Sarawak Minister of Infrastructure and Port Development, also inspected the construction project for SMK Selangau, which is currently 4.34 per cent ahead of its original schedule. 'This school involves the construction of 18 classrooms with a cost of RM81.008 million. According to the original schedule, it should be completed by June 2027, but we have asked JKR and the contractor to complete it by December 2026 at the latest,' he said. Uggah added that the project was funded by the Federal Government and implemented by the State Government. He expressed confidence that it could be completed on schedule due to stable site conditions and the use of the Industrialised Building System (IBS) method. He further stated that JKR Sarawak would continue to monitor the implementation of both projects to ensure no delays occurred. 'The state government will also not hesitate to terminate the contracts of any project that fails to be completed according to plan, as has been done before,' he stressed.
