The works ministry (KKR) will launch a national road infrastructure safety campaign this month, works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Linggi said, reported Bernama.
Related to road infrastructure equipment such as street lights and signage, the campaign is expected to be officiated by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, and the campaign will also include efforts towards overcoming the main issue of potholed and damaged roads, as well as other issues related to road equipment, Nanta said.
“It is hoped that campaigns to expand advocacy and understanding related to road maintenance safety can increase the involvement of all parties, especially industry players, government and private agencies and the people in efforts to maintain roads and the related infrastructure,” he said.
“I also want this campaign to be more action-oriented, based on the concept of actions speak louder than words… I want to create awareness of such campaigns. I intend to continue policies that are beneficial to all Malaysians,” the minister said in a Facebook post, and that more details on the campaign will be shared soon.
The issue of road with potholes and infrastructure-related problems, as well as those relating to street lights and signage, are nothing new in Malaysia, stating that many such cases occur, be they on federal roads under the jurisdiction of the KKR or on roads managed by state or local authorities.
“I understand this problem is frequently reported in the media and social media by road users. From the first day I set foot in the KKR, this is one of the matters that I have been emphasising to everyone in the ministry,” Nanta said.
