KUCHING, April 15 — It may sound ridiculous some 30 years ago for anyone to suggest building an airport in the middle of nowhere, like in the Betong Division, but with the potential the place has, it is now a necessity to bring its agricultural produce to a wider market, including overseas.
Plans are afoot to build a short take-off and landing airport (Stolport) in Spaoh, one of the small towns in Betong, and last Saturday, Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg handed over the construction agreement document to the successful tender bidder for the project, D.A.L Keluarga Realty Cara Raya JV Sdn Bhd.
