Works Minister Baru Bian urges Lebuhraya Borneo Utara to urgently look into the problem. FMTNews Borneo

Works Minister Baru Bian accompanied by Batu Lintang assemblyman See Chee How and Saratok MP Ali Biju at the press conference.

Speaking to reporters after meeting the affected contractors, he said they had not been paid from July till September this year.“They have to pay for the facilities and bank overdrafts. A huge amount of interest would be charged if they fail to make these payments on time,” he said. Baru said once the works ministry takes over the project on Feb 19 next year, they would try their best to make all payments to the contractors within 30 days.
