COLLAPSED…. Peter Liew inspection the collapsed section of road at Tamparuli which is still not ready for traffic.
SABAH DAP Tuaran Parliamentary Liaison, Chief Peter Liew Fui Ken today revisited the collapsed section of the Tamparuli road where the road was closed for quite a few months due to one of its corrugated mill steel culvert was washed away and cut off the whole road from traffic.
The long wait to start on the reconstruction of the collapsed section was due to the delayed in the allocation from the Federal. This is because the road is part of the Federal trunk road system and is to be repaired using federal funding.
Peter Liew is happy to see that work is at last in progress and he wishes that the work can be completed soon to receive heavy traffic and road users will not have to use the long detour routes again. At the moment, the road is still impassible to traffic.
Peter Liew further urges the JKR to regularly check all the road sections and the hill slopes throughout Sabah which might face the tendency of collapsing and to ensure that there is enough emergency fund within the JKR account to cater for all immediate utilization.
In Sabah, many road accidents are caused by bad road conditions and precious lives were lost. This is definitely not acceptable. A major depression or big pot holes on the road surface can kill and usually on the rural unlighted roads. Many roads where there are big sections already collapsed are just fenced with some tree branches and red ribbons to caution motorist, and after years were still not repaired.
Peter Liew further queries on why the road surface at Jalan Lintas from Inanam to KKIA is so bad and uneven, as if the car is on a gravel road. This is supposed to be a federal highway and of good quality, and now it is worst then a kampong road.
The few kilometerS of road from Inanam to Mengattal is equally bad and flooded regularly, why can’t JKR do something? The resurfacing works on roads are usually placed on good road surfaces and bad road surfaces never got the chance to be made good, WHY?
This is a true demonstration of bad management on the part of the BN government to bring not only comfort but also safety to our road users.
