TONGOD: Construction of the Tongod Sports Complex here will be completed after it was abandoned and left unfinished by the contractor appointed in 2019.
Youth, Sports and Creative Economy Minister Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan said the contractor that failed to complete the project had been terminated.
He said the ministry wants the sports complex to be properly completed for the benefit of residents and will hold a high-level meeting with the relevant agencies to find a solution to the issue.
He added that the implementation period for the state-funded project would be further reviewed and a suitable contractor identified to ensure the complex is fully completed.
Nizam said this at a press conference after a working visit to the Tongod Sports Complex site and the Youth Arena at the Tongod Youth and Sports Office on Wednesday, which was also attended by Kuamut Assemblyman Datuk Masiung Banah, Senator Datuk Anna Bell @ Suzieana Persian and agency officials.
