KUNAK: The search for a design consultant is underway as part of efforts to upgrade the gravel stretch of Jalan Kadazan Mostyn to asphalt. Deputy Chief Minister cum State Works Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya said project implementation is expected by mid-2026 under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13). He told the Daily Express this in response to the latest updates on the long-awaited road project. Currently, only about 600 metres of the road from Simpang Empat roundabout is paved, while several kilometres remain gravel. The road links key areas including Kampung Mostyn Lama, Kampung Sri Bahagia, SK Mostyn, and the Sabah Electricity PMU building, and is crucial for local travel, especially during wet weather. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel(s) for the latest news you don't want to miss. * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

PAPAR: The Pan Borneo Highway flyover and traffic lights along Benoni Commercial Centre (BCC) and Parklane City are now operational, which will further boost the road connectivity and economic potential of the district. The highway is expected to drive residential and commercial demand in the district, and in turn, spur local economic growth. Advertisement WSG Group Managing Director Datuk Susan Wong Siew Guen said a large petrol station will soon be built in the vicinity to serve vehicles travelling between Sarawak, Brunei, as well as the interior, west coast and east coast regions of Sabah. The company is also negotiating with several renowned medical centres, hoteliers, Parkson departmental store and shopping mall which are keen to establish their presence here. She said this while receiving delegations from the Rotary Club of Tanjung Aru, Api Api Hash House Club, Association of Hwaxia Zhineng Qigong Sabah and Malaysia-China Friendship Association Sabah at Parklane City show gallery here, recently. 'The flyover connecting Kota Kinabalu to Papar and Beaufort is now open to motorists. 'The new traffic lights under the bridge enable vehicles to enter Parklane City without making a U-turn, which is much more convenient and safer to road users visiting Papar,' she said. Susan expects a surge in demand for accommodation and consumer spending in view of Kibing Group's plan to build another manufacturing plant in Kimanis. Apart from luxury condominium, double-storey terrace houses and shoplots, Parklane City has attracted many leading brands and services, including Servay Hypermarket, McDonald's drive-thru, KFC, Co-op Bank, U-Tea, 4Fingers Crispy Chicken, 10Star Cinemas, Majestic Ballroom and Toyota showroom. * 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?

Bobcat Company and Actor and Director Josh Duhamel Give Back to the Los Angeles Fire Department
Bobcat UTV Donated as Part of its 'Work Worth Doing' Initiative Supports LAFD's First, Full-time, Paid Hand Crew LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Award-winning actor and Hollywood director Josh Duhamel recently partnered with Bobcat Company for a surprise visit to Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Station 88 to deliver a powerful gift: a brand-new Bobcat UV34XL utility vehicle. The donation was part of Bobcat's 'Work Worth Doing' campaign—a nationwide initiative celebrating the work of everyday people who are making a difference. Duhamel, a Bobcat ambassador, personally handed over the keys to the UTV in recognition of the LAFD's first, full-time, paid wildland hand crew, who help mitigate and control wildfires and will use the UTV on the frontlines of future fires. 'I think this is some of the most honorable work that you can do. It takes a special kind of person to sign up as a firefighter, especially in a place like Los Angeles where wildfires run rampant,' said Duhamel. 'We believe, myself and Bobcat, that the firefighters deserve the best tools out there, and that's why we wanted to donate this machine. I think that anytime you can support those who are protecting others is definitely work worth doing.' Bobcat is also supporting the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation by donating a portion of proceeds from the sale of its limited-edition hat Duhamel is seen wearing during his recent visit to the LAFD. 'We are grateful for Bobcat and Josh's commitment to advancing our efforts with the generous donation of a Bobcat UTV,' said Adam VanGerpen, Captain and Public Information Officer, Los Angeles City Fire Department. 'This will enhance our hand crew's efficiency in mitigating and fighting wildfires, enabling us to achieve so much more in our mission to keep the community safe.' Bobcat kicked off its 'Work Worth Doing' initiative in May by teaming up with entrepreneur and Magnolia co-founder Chip Gaines to surprise a deserving neighbor and a United States veteran, Jason Shields, with a Bobcat T595 compact track loader. Shields is the founder of Hoof Haven Sanctuary, a non-profit that rescues endangered or injured horses, rehabilitates them and provides them with a forever home. The 'Work Worth Doing' initiative continues throughout 2025 with other Bobcat ambassadors, including country musician Justin Moore and professional BMX rider Ryan Nyquist, visiting and rewarding people making a difference in their communities. Others can get involved on social media by sharing their 'work worth doing' by tagging @BobcatCompany and using hashtag #WorkWorthDoing.
