Sultan of Perak opens Sultan Muzaffar Shah Bridge
KUALA KANGSAR: The Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Muizzuddin Shah, today inaugurated the Sultan Muzzaffar Shah Bridge at Dataran Manong here. Sultan Nazrin and the Raja Permaisuri of Perak, Tuanku Zara Salim, arrived at 11am, accompanied by Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad and his wife Datin Seri Aezer Zubin. Also present were Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi and Public Works Department (PWD) director-general Datuk Roslan Ismail. In his speech, Nanta said the 300-metre-long Sultan Muzzaffar Shah Bridge and three-kilometre connecting road now link Pekan Manong and Kampung Seberang Manong, reuniting two communities that were once separated by a river. "The construction of this bridge not only improves mobility for the people, but also strengthens community ties, stimulates the growth of tourism, trade, and agriculture sectors, as well as opens more economic opportunities for residents in the surrounding areas," he said. Nanta said the infrastructure also stands as a symbol of well-planned progress, reflecting the commitment of the federal and state governments in line with the Malaysia Madani spirit, which upholds humanitarian values, sustainability, well-being, and social justice. He also expressed his deepest appreciation to all parties who worked tirelessly to ensure the successful construction of the bridge. "I believe that with the cooperation between the federal and state governments, more high-impact development projects can be implemented in Perak Darul Ridzuan for the well-being of its people," he said. The Sultan Muzzaffar Shah Bridge, a project under the 11th Malaysia Plan costing more than RM37 million, was completed on Oct 25, 2019. – Bernama
