“The project, which commenced on April 15, is part of the commercial developmen­t in Simunjan under Package A,” it said in a press release. As the implementi­ng agency, LCDA held a symbolic handing over of the project site to the contractor in Simunjan yesterday between LCDA acting general manager Kusyairi Bostani and Kejurutera­an Janje representa­tive Valeria Megumi Lainus.
