JKR Sarawak Deputy Director of Services Meehan Jorai expressed gratitude for the successful organisation of the conference. 'The discussions resulted in 60 resolutions focused on three core areas namely process improvement, human resource needs, and project implementation,' he said. Meehan also highlighted that a shared direction had been agreed upon, and extended his appreciation to all senior assistant directors for their meaningful contributions.
