00:09 Deputy Works Minister Datuk Shri Ahmad Maslan, who visited the construction site on Thursday,
00:14 said if everything goes well, the project will be completed by March next year.
00:19 "60 days have passed since the original schedule.
00:24 The project was supposed to reach 72.5% but the contractor has set the target at 83.5%.
00:33 How can this be achieved?
00:36 Because during the COVID-19 pandemic, they can continue to carry out the project with a certain schedule.

00:49 so that the IBS can be carried out in this place.
00:54 There is no need to take IBS from other branches."
01:01 Ahmad said the project was carried out based on the design and build concept,
01:06 involving a cost of RM375.5 million.
