KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Hajiji Noor (
pix) has today directed the Sabah Economic Development and Investment Authority (Sedia) to take the lead in developing the Sabah’s side of Malaysia-Indonesia regional border development.
Hajiji, who is also state Finance Minister and Sedia chairman, said this involved a road construction connecting the border of Serudong in Kalabakan, Tawau to Simanggaris in Indonesia following the federal government’s nod to Sabah’s proposal to build a road to Kalimantan.
He said the approval for the project was conveyed to him by Economic Affairs Minister, Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed during a video discussion early this month.
