THE RESIDENTS of the Taman
Wangsa low cost houses in Telipok has filed their complaints to the Sabah DAP
State Vice Chairman, Edward Ewol Mujie who is also the Chief of the Local
government and Housing Bureau on the issue that Jalan Telipok Lama leading to
their homes is already badly damaged, and no repair work has been carried out
but the authorities concerned.
Edward said when he, Andrew
Lee and Robert Rajah the assistants to KK MP Hiew King Cheu visited the area,
they found that it is very true Jalan Telipok Lama has been badly damaged
especially near the roundabout which is having big holes and full of
water.
They noted that all the
vehicles that is going in and out trying their best to avoid these big holes
which are 1 foot deep. The residents
informed them that there are about 250 units of walk-up apartments at Taman
Wangsa and other houses including low cost housing in the area, so this road
must have been used by few hundred vehicles every day and many of the residents
informed them that some of their vehicles have been damaged as they said that
it is very difficult to avoid the big hole especially at night as there is no
road lights.
The residents said when it
rained heavily, the whole area will be flooded with water.
Edward said that the
residents had lodged many complaints to their elected representatives and the
authorities but all fell into deaf ears, that is why the road has not been
repaired properly except that one or twice the big hole has been patched up by
filling up with stone but after a while the big hole reappeared again.
Edward said that the
residents also complained that they can’t enter into Jalan Telipok Lama from
the Telipok traffic light side at Jalan Tuaran as there is no provision for a
side road to turn into Jalan Telipok Lama, so they have to go to the entrance
into the Telipok Town to make a U-turn to reach Jalan Telipok Lama.
The residents said that they
are frustrated and unhappy because they found that this is very inconvenient
due to the difficulties of making U-turn especially during peak hours early in
the morning and afternoon as there will be traffic congestion and jammed as
there is a school along this road.
The residents said they
brought up this matter to their elected representatives and authorities but
they do not understand why this matter has not been taken up seriously by the
authorities.
Edward said that they noted
there are big lorries transporting earth using Jalan Telipok Lama and this may
have contributed to the damaged to this road.
So Edward urges the
authorities concerned to repair the badly damaged road as well as upgrade the
whole Jalan Telipok Lama right to Telipok town and at the same time make the
necessary way to allow the residents to turn into Jalan Telipok Lama from the
Telipok traffic light immediately for their convenience to reach their homes.
