Sabahans told to use MyJalan to report road damage
Ahmad Maslan TAWAU (July 18): The use of MYJalan, an application for road users to file complaints regarding road damage, is still low in Sabah, said Deputy Minister of Works Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan. In this regard, he said Sabahans who are facing problems with damaged roads, whether village, state or federal roads, should take advantage of MYJalan to ensure that damaged roads can be repaired immediately. 'There are too few people in Sabah who use the MYJalan application, I hope that they would access MYJalan application to express their dissatisfaction with the implementation of roads. 'We will forward complaints to the responsible parties, if the road involves a tourist area or an agricultural road, we will forward it to the relevant parties, if the road is an urban road, we will forward it to the relevant local authorities,' he said. He told reporters after reviewing the progress of the construction project of additional Army Forces Family Housing (RKAT) of various classes at Kabota Camp here on Thursday. Ahmad said that MYJalan, which was developed by the government in 2023, would practise a no wrong door policy system and complaints regarding state, federal and village roads would be forwarded to the relevant parties for further action. Meanwhile, he said that concession companies that are given the responsibility of maintaining federal roads must ensure that damaged roads, including potholes, are repaired immediately. 'The concessionaires are required to patch any potholes within less than 24 hours, this is the standard operating procedure in the federal road maintenance agreement,' he added. Ahmad said the Works Ministry would not compromise on road safety and concessionaires must ensure that the road conditions are safe and smooth.-Bernama

Modern residences for military personnel in Tawau
Ahmad Maslan TAWAU (July 17): A RM97 million modern residential project is being built for military personnel in Tawau as the government remains committed to enhancing the nation's defense ecosystem. Today, Deputy Works Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan conducted an on-site inspection to monitor the progress of the Additional Multi-Class Armed Forces Family Housing (RKAT) Project at Kabota Camp, Tawau. This project is part of the government's initiative to strengthen the welfare of defense personnel and their families by providing modern, comfortable, and safe housing. The project commenced on 2 May 2023 and is scheduled for completion by 31 October 2026. To date, physical progress stands at 14%, with expectations to meet the stipulated timeline, cost and specifications. Upon completion, the project will include apartments, bungalows, houses, kindergarten and childcare center, multi-purpose court and playground, and new water tank tower. These facilities will significantly benefit military personnel and their families, ensuring a more comfortable and balanced lifestyle. The modern, well-equipped environment is also expected to boost morale and motivation as they fulfill their duties to the nation. This project reflects the MADANI government's dedication to delivering quality housing for the people, especially defense personnel, aligning with the core principles of Malaysia MADANI: compassion, wellbeing, confidence and sustainability. Speaking to reporters later, Ahmad said the project must be completed by Oct 31 next year, as scheduled. 'There will be no third extension of time (EOT). Two EOTs have already been granted. This is a very urgent and necessary project. Once completed, it will greatly benefit military personnel and their families by easing their burden of high rental costs outside,' he said. The Ministry of Works (KKR) urges the Public Works Department (JKR) to maintain rigorous oversight of the project's progress, collaborate closely with the contractor, and conduct continuous stakeholder engagement and inspections. This ensures timely, cost-effective, and quality completion, accelerating benefits for public defense personnel and their families. Meanwhile, Ahmad urged contractors using the Industrialised Building System (IBS) in government and major projects to produce components in situ or adjacent to the project site. He said the move could help reduce costs and construction time, while also minimising the risk of damage to IBS materials.
