Own up to your role in Pan Borneo delay, DAP man tells Warisan

Sabah DAP publicity secretary Thien Ee Hang has criticized Warisan for avoiding responsibility in the Pan Borneo Highway project delays. Thien pointed out that Warisan president Shafie Apdal, who was Sabah's chief minister from 2018 to 2020, had personally recommended scrapping the Project Delivery Partner (PDP) model in 2019. Thien stated that Shafie's admission was recorded in official parliamentary Hansard.

Leiking was accused of selectively ignoring this fact and refusing to take ownership of the issue. Thien urged Warisan to openly address their role in the project's delays, instead of deflecting blame to other parties. This follows a recent auditor-general's report indicating that, as of March 31, only four out of the 35 project packages had been fully completed, with the remaining 31 still ongoing.
