KOTA BHARU: The Works Ministry described as “extraordinary” the 92 per cent work progress in the construction of the Kota Bharu Court Complex, which is ahead by 46 per cent.
Works Minister Baru Bian said that the developer, Cakna Enterprise Sdn Bhd, had shown a good example by giving full cooperation to the ministry in getting the RM97 million project ready much earlier than scheduled.
He said work on the project commenced on June 2, 2016 and it was scheduled for completion by April 1, 2020.
“When I asked the developer what the secret was, he said it was to focus on work and extending its cooperation to all quarters and ministries,” he told reporters after visiting the site of the court complex at Bandar Baharu Tunjung here yesterday.
The new court complex will have three High Courts, five Sessions Courts and five Magistrates’ Courts.
The existing court complex is in Kota Bharu town, where there are two High Court rooms, three Sessions Court rooms and three Magistrates’ Court rooms.
Baru said the new court complex was built to create a more conducive work environment, thus enabling the staff to provide better and more efficient service.
Besides visiting the site of the court complex, Baru and his entourage, who are currently on a working tour of the East Zone called the East Zone FT Road Pedia, also visited the flyover in Wakaf Bharu and the highway project that stretches from Kota Bharu to Kuala Krai. – Bernama
