Selangor plans to take over federal roads in industrial areas

 

The Selangor government plans to take over part of the federal roads in the industrial areas that are managed by the Public Works Department (PWD) to be handed over to the local authorities.

State Local Government, Public Transport and New Village Development Committee chairperson Ng Sze Han said local authorities in the state have the allocation to repair roads in the areas concerned.

Discussions are in progress between the local authorities and PWD on the matter, Ng (above) said in response to a supplementary question from Ahmad Yunus Hairi (PAS-Sijangkang) at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly sitting in Shah Alam today.

In another development, he said the local government authorities were also monitoring the status of abandoned premises in industrial areas to avoid them from becoming dumping grounds and being used for unlawful activities.

Ng said this in response to an oral question from Syamsul Firdaus Mohamed Supri (Pakatan Harapan-Taman Medan) on the matter.
