LAWAS: The Lawas Administrative Office Complex (AOC) is expected to be handed over to the Sarawak Government as early as next February, thus becoming a catalyst for more systematic, integrated and efficient coordination of government services in this district.

This was announced by Sarawak Secretary, Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar Marzuki during a visit to the project site to review the final progress of the complex's completion on Saturday.

Based on a briefing by the Limbang Division Public Works Department (JKR), the construction of the Lawas AOC Complex is currently in its final phase and is being completed according to the set schedule.

During the visit, Datuk Amar Mohamad Abu Bakar also inspected the office spaces of various government agencies that will be housed in the 15-storey complex.

This is in line with current needs, the growth of the public service and the government's aspirations to improve the quality of service delivery to the people.
