KUCHING (Oct 5): The construction of the Tabung Ekonomi Gagasan Anak Sarawak (Tegas) digital core living nomad lodge at the Samajaya Industrial Park here will commence next year, said Tegas chairman Datuk Len Talif Salleh.

The Natural Resources and Urban Development deputy minister said the government is spending RM71 million for the construction of the building and facilities, for the use of researchers and students conducting research at the Tegas Digital Village.
