Over 1,000 accident blackspots identified nationwide for safety upgrades
TUMPAT: More than 1,000 high-risk accident blackspots have been identified nationwide, according to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi. The Public Works Department (JKR) conducted a thorough review of federal roads with sharp bends, structural damage, and inadequate lighting. 'We have identified more than 1,000 accident blackspots nationwide,' said Nanta. He noted that these locations face multiple issues, including poor nighttime visibility requiring proper lighting solutions. Over 300 solar lights have already been installed along the East-West Highway (RTB) to improve safety. Additional solar lights will be placed at identified accident-prone areas and sharp bends soon. Nanta shared these updates after launching the Sri Tanjong 1 ferry at the JKR Pengkalan Kubor Ferry terminal. The event was attended by Narathiwat Deputy Governor Amirut Bua-On and Kelantan JKR director Nik Soh Yaacoub. The ministry has requested extra funding to speed up solar light installations for enhanced road safety. Regarding the new ferry, Nanta emphasised its role beyond transportation, calling it a vital link between Malaysia and Thailand. 'It facilitates movement, strengthens trade, and nurtures cultural ties and kinship,' he said. The previous Sri Tanjong ferry served reliably for 34 years before being replaced. The new Sri Tanjong 1 ferry, costing RM7.90 million, can carry 58 passengers, six crew members, and eight light vehicles or a 44-seater bus. Nanta highlighted the ferry's upgraded capacity for both passengers and heavy vehicles. 'It will support safer cross-border mobility and boost local economic growth,' he added. He also proposed preserving the old ferry as a historical monument for future generations. - Bernama

SANDAKAN: The Federal Works Ministry (KKR) continues to strengthen its role in supporting national defence, particularly in the eastern region of Sabah, through the construction of the Mawilla 2 Jetty Project, which has now reached 80 per cent physical completion. Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan conducted a working visit to the project site on Monday to personally inspect the progress of the jetty construction, which involves a total cost of RM122.99 million. Advertisement The project is being implemented using the Design and Build method and is expected to be completed by December this year. 'The scope of the project includes the construction of two concrete jetties measuring 300 metres and 75 metres, respectively, two concrete pontoons, a Bosun house, a Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) building, as well as basic amenities such as toilets and water tanks, all built in accordance with current standards. 'Kekal Mewah Sdn Bhd has been appointed as the main contractor, while the project is being managed by the Special Project Team 2 (PPK2) of the Public Works Department (JKR) as the monitoring agency,' he said at a press conference here. For the record, the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) base in Sandakan, which has been operational since 1994, is now known as the Eastern Fleet Command Headquarters 2 (Mawilla 2), serving as the operational base for 964 RMN officers and personnel. Advertisement It also houses various types of operational and defence vessels. The construction of the new jetty aims to provide berthing facilities equipped with electricity supply, fuel, clean water and telecommunications systems, in addition to ensuring a higher level of security for RMN ships and foreign military vessels docking there. In line with the aspirations of the Madani Government, the Ministry hopes this facility will be fully utilised by RMN personnel in their mission to defend the sovereignty and security of the nation. Ahmad also called on JKR and the main contractor to continue working closely together to ensure that the project is completed on time, maintaining the planned quality and cost. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
