DARO: Two major projects in the Daro area, namely the new construction of the Village Link Road (JPD) in Kampung Pangtray and the upgrading of the JPD in Kampung Tebaang (Phase II), are set to improve accessibility for locals from the surrounding areas.

According to Daro Assemblyman, Safiee Ahmad, both projects will be implemented this year, involving two implementing agencies which are the Matu and Daro District Council and the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID).
