Another tidbit shared by prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak during the tabling of the Malaysian Budget 2016 (Bajet 2016) is the progress regarding the construction of the toll-free Pan Borneo Highway, which began in September this year.
Firstly, the entire Sarawak section of the highway, stretching 1,090 km from Tanjung Datu in the west to Merapok up north, will be completed by 2021 (two years earlier than previously mooted) at an estimated cost of RM16.1 billion. The latter is some RM1.1 billion higher than the previously reported ceiling budget.
On the Sabah side, construction of the first phase connecting Sindumin to Tawau – a distance of 706 km – will commence next year, with the cost for this section expected to reach RM12.8 billion. As yet, there’s no proposed completion date nor a total estimated cost for the stretch in the northern Borneo state.
Altogether, the entire project will reportedly span a total distance of 2,239 km have a ceiling budget of around RM27 billion, although the federal government is still working to finalise the cost and design of the highway.

After state election. It will be Sarawak – 2026, Sabah 2021…prior to GE…
This is just a gimmick. Highway construction is not a feasible in that kind of terrain. This is just a black hole to suck money for cronies and UMNO. Come 2100, this “highway” will still be “work in progress”
Sarawak people is time to show peninsular umno, you guys had enough of suffering for the 30 years… Time for change !!!
Sarawak pipu says: keep your Semenanjung politics away from us! Dun come in!
Pan Borneo highway already there lah dude…this is only an upgrading work from 2 lane to 4 lane with divider at center
Where is Sabah and sarawak? How to go? Belongs to Malaysia meh, how come i dunno. Omg..
This is no doubt a good news that announced by Government. Well done. But is this got anything to do with the car blog, it is sick to see the blog to be so politc, we see many low quality blogger who talk nonsense like the pakcik sam loo. Shame blog traffix already drop tremendously.

Sarawak telah bersetuju melalui pilihan majoriti untuk bercantum dengan Tanah Melayu menjadi sebuah Persekutuan, ie Malaysia.
Jikalau anda mempunyai majoriti untuk bercerai, silalah kemukakan pada Yang Dipertua. Terima Kasih
