RM250,000 concrete drain completed at Lrg Semaba 7 to tackle flooding issues
Yap (second left) and others seen at the site of the completed concrete drain at the T-junction of Lorong Semaba 7. KUCHING (June 7): The construction of a concrete drain at the T-junction of Lorong Semaba 7 has been completed at the cost of RM250,000, said Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap. He said the rural transformation programme (RTP) project had resolved long-standing drainage and flooding issues in the area. 'With the completion of this phase, residents in the neighbourhood can now look forward to improved water flow, reduced flood risk and better overall living conditions,' he said in a statement. He emphasised that the initiative is more than just a basic infrastructure upgrade. 'It is a commitment to ensure that every part of Kota Sentosa is not left behind in terms of infrastructure. Too many of our older residential areas still suffer from outdated or insufficient basic amenities. 'I am working tirelessly to correct that,' he added. Yap also revealed that the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has conducted survey and assessment works on the opposite side of the same T-junction, as well as another stretch of earth drains along Lorong Semaba 11. The proposed next phase will involve the construction of additional concrete drains, with a combined estimated cost of RM400,000, and MPP engineers are currently preparing the Bill of Quantities to move the project forward. Reaffirming his commitment to infrastructure development, Yap said he will continue to advocate for improvements under the RTP and other government allocations. 'Development cannot be concentrated in one area. As your elected representative, I will continue to press for improvements – street by street, lorong (lane) by lorong – so that all residents of Kota Sentosa enjoy the benefits of proper, modern infrastructure.' Yap also highlighted that his efforts are aligned with the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) government's focus on inclusive development and narrowing the infrastructure gap, particularly in semi-urban and suburban communities. He emphasised that infrastructure is not just about roads and drains. 'It's about dignity, safety and improving the quality of life for the people I serve. I will not rest until every kampung, taman and lorong in Kota Sentosa sees tangible progress,' he pledged. concrete drain flooding jalan semaba lead Wilfred Yap

HMDA to select consultancy for skywalk near Secunderabad Railway Station
In an effort to take forward the proposal for improvement of pedestrian facilities near Secunderabad Railway Station, the State government, through the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority, has invited proposals from consultants towards execution of the project for an elevated walkway covering significant points around the station. HMDA has published a request for proposal for selection of consultant for providing services towards development of skywalk near the railway station. A Secunderabad Railway Station Precinct Area has been demarcated to spell out the terms of reference for the consultancy, which encompasses several important points nearby from where pedestrian traffic is generated on daily basis. The locations to be covered include the railway station, the two metro rail stations — Secunderabad West and Secunderabad East connecting to the railway station, Rathifile bus station, Secunderabad bus stop, Gurdwara bus stop, Blue Sea bus stop, Chilkalguda bus stop, Bhoiguda bus stop, and the Uppal bus stop. In addition to the transportation hubs, the area is also home to a temple, and a Gurdwara, which add to the number of footfalls in the region, the RFP document notes. The current infrastructure is insufficient to accommodate the high volume of pedestrians, contributing to traffic congestion and safety concerns, the document said explaining the need for the skywalk. The selected consultants will be responsible from the stage of design up to bid processing. They will have to prepare a conceptual design of the skywalk structure with revenue generation model, a detailed project report including technical drawings, architectural and structural designs and Bill of Quantities for tendering, and also prepare the bid document for selection of contractor, besides providing technical assistance in bid process management. Last date for submission of tenders is June 2.
