KUCHING: Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Public Complaints Bureau (SPCB) chief, Wilfred Yap was recently approached by the business community of Kota Sentosa Commercial area during his regular round of visit (turun padang) activity to the area.
Those trading in the old 7th Mile Bazaar and hawkers trading in the market had asked for his assistance to request the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) to carry out improvement and repair works for a stretch of road approximately 100 metres in length of Jalan Liew Shan Phan in front of the T-Junction of SJKC Sam Hap Hin. They requested the road to be properly tar sealed due to its dilapidated condition which causes it to be water logged at certain section after it rains. According to the traders and hawkers, their request is made because of the heavy traffic using this stretch of the road.
They further requested the SPCB chief to voice out their dissatisfaction to MPP on the unsatisfactory quality of the workmanship as extensive improvement works on Jalan Liew Shan Phan was only carried out and completed last year.
Following the request for assistance received, Yap had gone to inspect and assess the situation and also to see what could be done to solve the problem. The matter has now been highlighted and brought up to the attention of MPP.
Yap has now been informed by MPP that tar sealing works will commence as soon as they complete the measurement and costing works for tar sealing and resurfacing the affected stretch of the road.
Yap will continue to follow up and monitor the situation closely with MPP until the whole repairs and resurfacing works are completed.
SPCB is always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone facing problems or who comes across problems of public interest but does not know how to deal with it. Anyone requiring assistance can always call SUPP Public Complaint’s mobile number at 016-7797688 or 082-246999 or go direct to SUPP Head Office to request for assistance.
