Sarawak Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin emphasized the importance of prioritizing contractors with good track records for future tenders. He stated that contractors who complete projects on time or ahead of schedule, like the Sungai Dalam Road upgrade, should be favored, while those with poor performance and delays should not. Lee urged Miri City Council (MCC) to implement a clear evaluation system to ensure this, citing cost overruns and the need for 'rescue contractors' when projects are delayed. He praised the Sungai Dalam Road project's early completion and the residents' satisfaction with the work.
