KUCHING: The possible diversion of the Pan Borneo Highway to bypass Brunei is a potential “life-saver” for Sarawak’s rural population by improving access to healthcare and economic activities, says Works Minister Baru Bian.
Welcoming Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s announcement on the possible diversion, he said it reaffirmed the ministry’s view that such a diversion of the Miri-Lawas-Sindumin road was necessary for a number of reasons.
