FROM a sleepy fishing village in Sematan at the tip of Sarawak, cutting through the bustling city of Kuching and to the wilds and the dazzling beaches of Tawau in Sabah, the 2,325km Pan Borneo Highway straddles the two biggest states in Malaysia.
It is three times longer than the country’s current longest expressway – the North-South Expressway, which runs for 772km from Bukit Kayu Hitam in Kedah near the Malaysia-Thai border to Johor Baru.
