KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah government has warned contractors working on the Pan Borneo Highway to be mindful when handling utility lines, or risk having their contracts terminated. Sabah Infrastructure Development minister Datuk Peter Anthony said the warning was issued, following numerous complaints of water, energy and electricity disruption in areas surrounding the construction, including Membakut. "Recently, a damaged utility line caused villagers in Membakut to experience two weeks of water disruptions.
