JKR staff urged to maintain performance amid criticism
KUALA NERUS: Public Works Department (JKR) staff have been urged to stay committed to high performance and integrity despite facing criticism, particularly on social media. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi emphasised the need for resilience amid public scrutiny, especially following incidents involving infrastructure. Nanta highlighted the recent fatal bus accident in Gerik, Perak, where 15 UPSI students lost their lives. He clarified misconceptions surrounding the incident, explaining that the bus had overturned due to speeding, landing on the guardrail. 'Some claimed the guardrail was the main cause, but the actual fact was the bus's speed,' he said. The minister acknowledged that while current guardrail designs may have risks, alternative solutions are under review. He stressed that JKR often faces blame even when incidents involve multiple factors beyond infrastructure. Speaking at the 2025 Senior Officers Conference (SOC) for JKR Malaysia, Nanta encouraged personnel to focus on service excellence. Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan and JKR Director-General Datuk Roslan Ismail were also present. - Bernama Nanta noted that despite JKR's swift responses to road-related issues, complaints are sometimes exaggerated online.

JKR staff urged to maintain top performance, rise above negative perception
KUALA NERUS: Public Works Department (JKR) personnel have been reminded not to succumb to negative perceptions or criticism, especially on social media, but instead to remain committed to upholding integrity and professionalism in delivering the best services to the people. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the ministry and JKR often face ongoing criticism. He said such criticism tends to arise during incidents involving public infrastructure and the loss of lives, such as the recent fatal accident that claimed the lives of 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) students along the East-West Highway (JRTB) in Gerik, Perak last month. "We mourn as well, but we are often blamed even when the causes vary depending on the situation… like in the bus accident in Gerik last month, some claimed that the bus overturned and the guardrail pierced through the body of the bus, causing the fatalities. "… but in reality, the bus was speeding and overturned, landing on the guardrail. This is the actual fact that the public may not know or has been twisted to make it seem as though the guardrail itself was highly dangerous. While there may indeed be some danger in the current design, alternative designs have not yet been implemented. So we will review other design options later,' he said. He said this after officiating the 2025 Senior Officers Conference (SOC) for JKR Malaysia here Monday (July 14). Also present were Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan, JKR Director-General Datuk Roslan Ismail, and Terengganu JKR director Dr Hasli Ibrahim. Nanta added that despite swift response and mitigation measures taken by JKR, certain issues and complaints, especially involving roads, continue to be sensationalised or used as "ammunition' by netizens. Therefore, he called on all JKR personnel to rise above the criticism and continue to prove their worth to the public by delivering services with full dedication and transparency in order to dispel all accusations. Some 400 senior JKR officers from across the country, including top management, district engineers, and cadre officers, are attending the three-day SOC 2025 conference beginning today. Themed 'JKR Mampan: Memacu Kelestarian Madani', the annual conference serves as a platform for critical thinking and unity among senior JKR officers aimed at improving service delivery in a sustainable and holistic manner. - Bernama
