RM27bil non-toll Pan Borneo Highway to boost Sarawak players

Highway works: Lebuhraya Borneo Utara Sdn Bhd is the project delivery partner for the toll-free stretch of the Pan Borneo Highway on the Sarawak side.

PETALING JAYA: The RM16bil Sarawak stretch of the Pan Borneo Highway can boost key contractors in the country’s largest state, including Naim Holdings Bhd, Zecon Bhd, Cahya Mata Sarawak Bhd and Hock Seng Lee Bhd.

CIMB Research construction analyst Sharizan Rosely said these companies were among those that were likely to be in a position of strength when bidding for the multi-billion contract.
