KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government is re-looking at project proposals for the Pan-Borneo Highway, with a view to expand existing roads instead of building new ones, says Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.

He said that there would be new approaches for the projects, and the government could take over the implementation instead of private companies managing them.
