MIRI – When Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg resumed the chief minister’s (CM) role almost five years ago, he announced plans to construct a LRT mega-project in Kuching costing some RM4 billion.
That project has yet to materialise.
Johari came to Miri shortly after becoming CM and proclaimed that all of rural Sarawak would have internet connection from a “balloon internet” system where huge balloons would be hovering the skies equipped with internet devices so that rural folks will be able to use their handphones and digital devices.
That balloon internet project remains a dream until today. Nothing ever came out of it.
In fact, many government politicians and state representatives are clueless about whether the balloon internet system is supposed to work in rural Sarawak due to its torrential rain, heavy clouds and thunderstorms.
