MIRI: The rural people of ulu Baram in northern Sarawak can look forward to better roads soon with the expected dispensing of RM240mil from the Federal Government for the upgrading of rural roads in the region.

Telang Usan state assemblyman Dennis Ngau told Sarawak Metro yesterday that Putrajaya was believed to be in the process of channeling the money to the Sarawak government to enable the upgrading of more stretches of rural roads in Baram to proceed.
