THE JALAN Putaton Bansadon in Inabong, Penampang District, has not been fixed with street lights since the road was built many decades ago. The road is dark and dangerous to drive on especially during the night hours and rainy condition.
It is only a short stretch of road about 5 kilometers leading from the Penampang New Township towards the Kg. Komoligan. There are thousands of people using the road daily and they are not at all happy about the dark road, and accidents have occurred here.
The people here complained to the Sabah DAP Local Government and Housing Bureau Deputy Chief Raphael Ang concerning the bad situation and they requested that Raphael can assist to highlight the problem to the government and local council who never border to come to see or to install the much needed street lights.
They called upon the BN Federal Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok who happened to live in the same area to expedite and spend his Member of Parliament allocation to install the lights. The money is to be spent to improve the needs of the people, and they wonder how come he travels very often on this road and he did not see that this road is in need of some lighting facilities.
May be he forgot or he seldom comes back to the area? There are some other BN YBs staying in the area too, it is funny that they too did nothing, where is their allocation of the YB fund?
There are other complaints on this road, and that leads to the narrow width of the road and some bad dangerous junctions. The authorities must immediately come to widen the road and make the dangerous junction safer. There should be adequate safety signage and lights especially at the many junctions here.
Raphael said the kampong here has an increased population and the road is indeed needed fast upgrading and improvement. The cars are more and there are heavy trucks plying the road, we cannot afford to have any accident happening on this road. - Sabahkini
This matter should be refer to the Majlis Daerah Penampang. After all the area is under their jurisdiction.
ReplyDeleteHas DAP approach the relevant authorities on this or they just going to cease their action on this matter upto this point?
ReplyDeleteDAP should know that each allocation must prioritize the critical situation.. street light should be the second choice unless all cars who using the road not equipped with front light..
ReplyDeleteThere are more to maintain and repair in this country. Hope the leaders will act faster to improve the safety of this road users.
ReplyDeleteyes, the local Penampang council should have done something ....?
ReplyDeletefurther investigation needed ...
I don't think investigation is needed for this matter on MDP's part. They should take immediate action to rectify the situation
Deletesebaknya lampu jalan disediakan d kawasan tersebut.
ReplyDeletebefore more accidents occurred there, its best to have it fixed with street lights.
ReplyDeleteThe responsible authority must take immediate action to fix this problem.
ReplyDeleteDAP is always looking for problem that involve roads. I think DAP should be a road inspector officer for the government.
ReplyDeleteKekurangan yang ada dikawasan jalan ini sememangnya perlu diselesaikan.
