FUNG YII TING ROAD COLLAPSED

THE public complaints received by the Kota Kinabalu member of Parliament office is getting more and more day by day on the impassible road at Jln. Fung Yii Ting linking Taman Iramanis to Jln. Turan and Dah Yap Villa due to the collapsed section of the road not being repaired and reinstated by the JKR and DBKK concern.

The road section had collapsed several months ago and there is no sign of work starting on the repair work. There is a section of some 30 meters long of the road section caved in and it is about 15 meter deep.

The people who always use this road as a short-cut had to make a long detour of at least 6 kilometers in order to reach the other side, which cause them time and money lost.

Dr. Hiew went to inspect the collapsed road section and feels that the authority should immediately take action to repair the road without further delay. The repair work is not a piece of major work and will not involve extensive and expensive make good procedure.

Therefore the authorities should start the work to build up the road section immediately to allow traffic to resume on the road. The work to reinstate the collapsed section should not take more then a few weeks.

Dr. Hiew said may be this is due to JKR or DBKK hasn’t got the money to do a simple road repair work like this one, even though this is a state government road and under the local authority.

The typical example is the collapsed road section in Tamparuli which is under Federal Trunk road and required federal allocation of some RM 600,000.00 is now still pending for the fund to arrive. Up to date the collapsed section is still wide open and had caused a lot of inconvenience to road users.

The BN government should be more concern about this type of happenings and it is absolutely against their slogan of ‘people First’! In fact they don’t care about the well being of the people and those who had voted them into government.

Therefore, it is time to consider to vote them out of the government during the next general election. The collapsed roads are just the tip of the iceberg and there are many other good examples throughout Sabah on why we should do exactly that.
