Disclosing this yesterday, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said their priority was the upgrading of the runway project at the Kota Kinabalu International Airport.
“We have conveyed our concern and problem, and discussed with the Transport Ministry over the runway project and they promised that they will look into it.
“There are many chartered flights from other countries and we hope the project can be completed soon,” he said.
Musa also hoped the second project, the Tanjung Aru flyover, will be completed soon.
“We have discussed with the relevant ministries and authorities and will try to solve as much as possible,” he said.
Ting was declared a bankrupt on Oct 28 by the Kuala Lumpur High Court following a legal suit initiated in 2004 after he defaulted on a loan by Bank of Commerce Bhd.
As of July 2005, Ting owed RM60.79 million to the bank.
