Biawak checkpoint upgrade remains in border master plan study
-
A proposed upgrade of the Biawak border checkpoint is being assessed under Sarawak's border development master plan, with the study expected to finish by the end of 2026.
An October 15 assembly reply placed improvements to the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security complex alongside wider infrastructure and socioeconomic proposals for the Biawak area.
Projects would be selected for phased implementation after the findings are reviewed. Priorities, readiness, funding and the required approvals will determine which works can proceed; a construction start date for the checkpoint upgrade was not set in the reply.
For travellers and businesses using the Biawak crossing, the immediate point is that planning work is advancing, while any change to facilities still depends on that later project decision.
A separate RM3 million scheme covers monuments at five border locations, including Biawak, and is at final design stage. That allocation should not be confused with funding to rebuild the checkpoint itself.
