“The implementation of maintenance work for federal roads in Sabah is under the full supervision of the Sabah Public Works Department, appointed as the representative of the federal government,“ he added.
He noted that his ministry needs approximately RM4 billion to maintain all federal roads in the country but for several decades it has received a budget of around RM1 billion annually.
