Ambitious plan in the making

PETALING JAYA: An ambitious plan is in the making to build a complete network of highways in Borneo linking the most remote areas in Sarawak to Sabah and then on to Kalimantan, where the new Indonesian capital will be located.

Works Minister Baru Bian said that for the first time, the Federal Government had committed itself to the Trans-Borneo Highway, which would not only complete the loop of highways around Borneo but also bring socio-economic benefits and physical development to more than 100,000 people there.
