JALAN Sigindai in Kinarut
which served many people in the area is needed urgent repair to its broken up
road surface turned to fish pond or hand made road. The Sabah DAP was informed
by the people living here recently especially those who stay in the PPRT
apartment here.
They said the road surface
is breaking up fast due to the heavy traffic and especially the rainy season is
coming in. The road is filled up with pot holes, and these are getting bigger
every day. The road maintenance contractor is no way to be seen to repair these
roads.
The Sabah DAP Ketua Wanita
Puan Noriah Onong visited the road here in Kinarut with the Sabah DAP Vice Chairman
Edward Ewol Mujie and Robert Rajah. They found the complaint is valid and the
condition of the road is really bad.
The worst part is the branch
road Jalan Kuburan Sunag that is linking to the PPRT Segindai housing as an
alternative access. The portion of this road next to the housing is totally
impassible and flooded over.
Although it is only a
stretch of one hundred feet long, smaller cars wouldn’t be able to cross over.
There are many cars using this road daily and it is a good short cut instead of
making a long detour.
Puan Onong said the road
maintenance contractor couldn’t have missed the section of the road because
there is a sign board there showing that the roads here are under their
maintenance contract.
They should have constant
surveillance and making rounds to ensure that there are no big holes on the
roads that are contracted by them. She said that if the contractor failed the
job, he should be removed and changed another contractor. The people have paid
their money, and should not face difficulties in getting home.
The condition of the roads
in Kinarut area especially those going into the kampongs here must be made good
for the people. Puan Onong said she will be traveling regularly into the
various kampongs from Lok Kawi onto the kampongs near Papar town to check on
the road and drain condition and to ensure the contractors do their job and
contract properly. We don’t pay them for nothing, but we expect them to perform
accordingly.
On the other hand, the visit
in Kinarut received many other complaints on the road side drains needed to be
cleaned, road signs needed to be improved, bushes and trees needed to be
trimmed when blocking the sight of the motorists. Puan Onong asks the people to
contact her when ever they need her service. She can be reached at telephone
contact 019-8721665.
