Senior Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof talking with Sarawak Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin while inspecting the construction of the Miri Airport viaduct in Miri, June 11, 2022. — Bernama picKUCHING, Oct 15 — Sarawak state Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin today welcomed the federal government’s RM209 million allocation for rural air services covering Sarawak and Sabah in Budget 2924.
But Lee urged the federal government to consider extra funds to upgrade the Kuching Airport and the Miri Airport, pointing out that these were also key international gateways that had long surpassed their maximum capacity five million and two million passengers annually.
He said a state delegation also met with the Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad chairman Tan Sri Zainon Ali in September to seek financial assistance for both Sarawak airports. “Early this year, I led a delegation to a meeting with the federal Minister for Transport Anthony Loke in Putrajaya, and the delegation was given assurance that the upgrading of KIA and Miri Airport would be given priority in the coming Budget,” he said. He said RM60 million was agreed in principle for the upgrading of Miri Airport, saying that in 2017, a sum of RM285 million was put up by the federal ministry for the Miri Airport expansion project.
