KUCHING: A yellow box was painted to ease traffic congestion at the T-junction of Lorong 1, Greenville Road here. Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) Public Complaints Bureau chief Wilfred Yap, said residents at Mile 7 had complained to him of traffic congestion during peak hours.
He explained that Greenville Road is used by the public as a by-pass to Jalan Batu Kitang to avoid traffic congestion at the construction site of a flyover at Mile 7, Kuching-Serian Road.
The residents had requested for a yellow box to prevent a gridlock and Yap said the matter was brought to the attention of the engineering department of Padawan Municipal Council (MPP).He added that residents also complained of construction waste and overgrown weeds in the drains and road verges at Greenville Commercial Centre. “Following this complaint, I urged MPP to clear the construction waste and overgrown weeds,” he said.
On a separate issue, Yap said with National Day just round the corner, it is important for us to be united under a common objective for the restoration of Sarawak’s rights and interest under Malaysia Agreement 1963.He also urged for Sarawakians to not be influenced by Malaya-based Pakatan Harapan (PH) which has a tendency of making empty promises and U-turns. “As loyal Sarawakians, we should fight for Sarawak’s rights and continue the effort of Tok Nan (the late Pehin Sri Adenan Satem), who got the ball rolling to set the Sarawak Agenda for autonomy in motion.
“Under the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg, we must speak with one voice and go all out to fight for the return of our rights and entitlements that have been eroded over the years, especially during the 22 years when Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was prime minister for the sake of future generations,” he said.
