TAWAU: The Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) is focusing on developing road, water and electricity infrastructure in rural and remote areas of Sabah to ensure a more comfortable life for residents in these areas.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Minister of Rural and Regional Development, said that Sabah currently requires more infrastructure development, and this plan can be realised through the strong cooperation between the MADANI Government and the state.
He noted that once the Pan Borneo Highway in Sabah is fully completed, more road connections to rural and remote areas, as well as small towns, need to be developed to connect communities and serve as a catalyst for the state’s progress.
“We recognise that there are still many areas in need of road construction and upgrades to benefit local residents. Cooperation with the state government will be intensified to ensure that rural road infrastructure remains a priority.
“The issue of public infrastructure, especially for the B40 community, will continue to be a key focus of the MADANI Government, particularly through KKDW for Sabah,” he said at the closing of the Sentuhan Kasih Desa@Tawau 2025 KKDW Programme at the Tawau Sports Complex here today. – Bernama
