The Tarat assemblyman confirmed that the project, now under new management, is showing positive progress based on updates from the Sarawak Public Works Department (JKR). 'Based on reports from JKR Sarawak, I believe the project is going on smoothly (under the new contractor),' he said when met after officiating the 'Petronas Memacu Kehidupan Gawai 2025' event at Kampung Tarat Melawi here today. However, Sagah noted that weather disruptions have occasionally slowed progress. 'Certain days, the weather doesn't permit us to accelerate the works,' he said, adding that rising public expectations often lead to complaints. He stressed that quality remains a top priority, and the contractor has been given the necessary time to ensure the project meets required standards.
