KUCHING: A ‘Sports/Community Hall with Innovative Hub’ project that is currently under construction at the former Ang Cheng Ho quarry in Batu Kawa here is set to become another major landmark in the area specifically and this city in general.
Local Government and Housing Minister Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian pointed out that the project marks the beginning of transformation of the old quarry.
To him the place is the last ‘undiscovered jewel’ here, meaning it has high potential for spectular development that can greatly transform the city.
Going by the schedule, the project should be completed in 15 months’ time.
The hall will have, among other things, a meeting room, discussion area, rentable office space, co-working space and a pantry.
When it comes to this sort of development, the public normally have a lot of opinions about it. So with that in mind, New Sarawak Tribune reached out to a few people for their comments.
