Samalaju’s second-phase water infrastructure project has a contractor and a RM517 million contract, but the award is not a completed supply upgrade. Sarawak-based KKB Engineering accepted the government’s letter of acceptance on Sept 28 for the SCORE–Samalaju Water Supply Physical Infrastructure Phase 2 project. The award was made through the Regional Corridor Development Authority, RECODA. The contract allows 36 months for completion. KKB must also enter into a written agreement with the government. That makes the agreement and subsequent construction progress the next milestones for an infrastructure project serving Sarawak’s Samalaju industrial corridor. The announcement does not give a commissioning date or say when users will receive additional water supply. The 36-month period should not be read as a firm calendar opening date without a confirmed commencement date.
