Sarawak reports seven critically delayed projects, down from 98 in 2022
-
Sarawak had seven critically delayed infrastructure projects as of September, compared with 98 in June 2022, according to Deputy Premier Douglas Uggah Embas.
The reduction is about 93 per cent, but it is a change in the number classified as critically delayed—not a statement that 91 projects have all been completed. Uggah gave the figures in his Oct 21 ministerial winding-up speech at the Sarawak Legislative Assembly, DayakDaily reported.
He linked the improvement to closer monitoring, earlier intervention and changes within the Public Works Department. Three regional offices were dissolved and their responsibilities consolidated under divisional offices, with additional staff and resources.
For residents seeking a project update, that restructuring is intended to give the public and elected representatives a single divisional point of reference, rather than overlapping regional responsibilities. JKR’s One-Month Pledge also focuses on checking contractors’ readiness and progress early enough to intervene before delays deepen.
The statewide figure is dated September, not a live count for Oct 23. The report does not identify the remaining seven projects or give their individual recovery dates, so it cannot establish whether a particular local road or facility is back on schedule.
