KOTA BELUD, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- The Paradise Camp Construction Project for Camp 5 Brigade and Camp 19 of the Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD) worth RM179.7 million is expected to be completed in August 2027 in the development of the country's defence.
Deputy Minister of Works Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said the project, which began in May last year, on a 40.47-hectare site comprised 42 buildings and the construction is progressing ahead of schedule with physical progress at 10.26 per cent.
He said the construction included administrative buildings, technical blocks, residential blocks, support facilities as well as basic infrastructure such as roads, water supply, electricity supply and security control systems.
"Upon completion, the project is expected to accommodate 1,148 personnel of various ranks, up from 311 now," he said in a statement here today.
Ahmad said the increase in the number of personnel would strengthen the preparedness of the security forces in the west coast of Sabah, as well as provide economic benefits to the local population through job opportunities, business and development of the surrounding areas.
He said the project is carried out by Ilmiah Perdana Sdn Bhd as the main contractor in collaboration with the Public Works Department's Special Project Team 2 (PPK2) as the implementing agency.
