SERIAN: Naim Holdings has given an assurance that the RM30 million 9.5km Terbat-Mapu road project would be completed on time.

Naim Holdings chief operating officer Datuk William Wei said the local construction giant had already deployed a full team on the ground to ensure the project would be completed within the stipulated time frame.

Wei added that 36 months would be sufficient to complete the project.

“All work related to the project such as design, survey and set up are already in place,” Wei told the media after the earth-breaking ceremony by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at Kampung Mapu, about 40km from here, on Thursday.

He added that land road alignment was ongoing and that 60 per cent had been completed. Once completed, the road would benefit 10 villages in the vicinity and enable villages in the area to be linked to Tebedu area, thus, opening a large tract of land for development.

In his speech, Minister of Infrastructure Development and Communication Dato Sri Michael Manyin Jawong said the road would provide better linkage among villages along the border. “The government would not promise anything but suffice for us to do and implement projects that would benefit the people,” said Manyin.

He said the road of R3 standard would enable motorists from the area to reach Serian in less than half an hour.

Currently the condition of the road is rough and gravelled and only suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles.

Muhyiddin, in his speech, said more  projects and amenities would be implemented in the area as part of the government’s effort to improve the livelihood of the people, especially in rural areas.

Serian MP and Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Richard Riot Jaem also spoke at the function. Among those present were Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Communication Safri Zainuddin, JKR deputy director Cheng Fang Sing, Serian District Officer Sinde Muling and Kedup BN candidate Martin Ben.
