THE MAIN and only road
leading from Sandakan town towards the road junction at Mile 32 to Kota
Kinabalu and Lahad Datu is still a narrow road in spite of the many promises
made by the BN government over the numbers of years since 30 years ago. Many
people had met in serious accident and had suffered deeply on the road. The government
until today is still sitting there and doing nothing.
The Kota Kinabalu Member of
Parliament who visited Sandakan recently had experienced the rough ride and
long queue along the road. It is not easy to drive on this road and any slight
mistake means serious injuries or heavy damages to the cars.
He said he had been using
this road for more then 30 over years now, but sadly there is no sight of a
dual carriage high way being built and completed. There were only announcement
and promises, and the “Janji Ditepati” remains as a nonsense slogan and
meanwhile the Sandakan folks continue to suffer.
The work on this stretch of
road seems under a “slow motion” mode. Why is it so slow or is it because the
government has no money to speed it up or the contractor had not been paid?
Hiew said all these cannot be the reason on the slow work rate, and there must
be some acceptable reason to this.
The work we can see on site
is here and there, and there is no real work progress on site. The bridge
concrete girders are still sitting on the river sides and no machineries are
operating there.
What happen and what is the
logic behind all these? Is this the standard of work practice of the BN
government? Sandakan had a new dual carriage high way built in Jalan Lai Fook Kim,
but this only solved a small part of the problem on the traffic circulation.
The main headache is still
the stretch of Jalan Labuk which is the main passage way out of Sandakan. There
is no drastic improvement for over 30 years and it still remains the bottle
neck. Why this was not done and resolved 30 years back?
Sandakan has the most number
of BN high ranking people which include the Chief Minister Musa Aman, Liew Vui
Keong, Raymond Tan, Au Kam Wah, Linda Tsen, Samsudin, Peter Pang, and Mohd
Zakaria, but why none of them made the move to ensure this road is completed to
be a highway soonest possible.
They funny part is that they
didn’t even say a word about this. Are they not bother about the safety of the
Sandakan road users? May be these people usually taking their air flights out
of Sandakan, and they didn’t see what is happening here. This is proven that
the government is always promising the people something that they can not
deliver.
The people in Sandakan are
really fed up with them. They want to change their representatives to some one
who can serve them better and care for them. This is the time to change and
change it is.
