  "account": "On December 3, former Deputy Minister Isnaraissah Munirah Majilis raised concerns during the presentation of the Chief Auditor's Report 2026 in the Dewan Rakyat, questioning why only seven land surveyors were assigned to oversee the 706km Pan Borneo Highway project in Sabah. The project, which began in 2015, still has 88% of its work ongoing, according to the report. Isnaraissah also questioned why only 12 private survey firms were appointed in December of the previous year, despite the project's long-standing duration.\n\nShe asked, \"How can one person be responsible for managing 100km of road?\" The shortage of manpower should not be an excuse, as the government was aware of the massive project's implementation in Sabah from the beginning. \"If it was known beforehand, more manpower should have been added,\" Isnaraissah stated.\n\nIsnaraissah also asked if the federal government had any involvement with the Sabah government, considering the project uses federal funds. \"Does the federal government have any say in this, or is it solely a state government initiative?\" she inquired. The report highlighted issues with the design and execution stages, with only four out of 35 packages completed, nine classified as problematic, and 13 delayed beyond their schedule. The project was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021.",
