Need to speed up breakwater project

MIRI: The worsening erosion along the beach at Kampung Batu 1 Kuala Baram has fishermen operating there urging the authorities to expedite the project to construct a breakwater to prevent further erosion.

Assistant Tourism Minister Datuk Lee Kim Shin, who is overseeing the project at local level, said the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) had appointed consultants to draw up plans for the breakwater project.
