Dayang Noorazah Awang Sohor, GPS-Lingga assemblywoman, urged the Sarawak State Planning Authority (SPA) to reconsider the construction of an 11.3km access road linking Lingga and Banting. The RM86.5 million project, proposed under the Sri Aman Development Agency, was previously rejected due to an existing alternative route. Noorazah emphasized the road's importance in shortening travel time, improving access to government services, and boosting local economic growth. She also highlighted the need for additional funding to address recurring floods impacting agriculture in the Maludam sub-district, despite a RM40 million allocation for flood mitigation.
