New road to pave better opportunities for the poverty-stricken in Tongod


KOTA KINABALU: A new RM400mil road that will link Malaysia's poorest district of Tongod to Sabah's interior town of Keningau will help in hastening the socio-economic development of the people.

Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin said that a new federally-funded road under the 12th Malaysia Plan would cut the distance between Tongod and Keningau from the current 315km to 200km.
