Sri Aman development projects focus on infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism

The Sri Aman Division in Sarawak is undergoing significant development through various strategic projects aimed at transforming the region into an agricultural and tourism hub. Supported by the Sri Aman Development Agency (SADA), development initiatives involve substantial funding, with reports citing allocations between RM1.5 billion and RM1.848 billion across 87 projects.

Key infrastructure developments include the construction of the Batang Lupar 2 Bridge, a cable-stayed bridge projected to be the highest of its kind in Malaysia, and the Sungai Lingga Bridge. These projects, alongside road upgrades in areas such as Guntong-Menalang and Sebeliau-Nanga Entalau, are intended to improve connectivity between rural communities and administrative centres.

Economic growth is being targeted through two primary sectors: agriculture and tourism. Approximately 2,000 hectares of land near Banting and Lingga have been identified for paddy cultivation to strengthen food production. In the tourism sector, high-impact projects include the Gunung Lesong Ecotourism Complex, the Seduku Benak Recreational Park, and the restoration of Kubu Arundell, all designed to create local jobs and attract investment.
