LABIS: The government has been urged to enhance the Federal route that connects Yong Peng and Segamat as it will affect the economic developments and safety of road users.
Labis MP Datuk Chua Tee Yong said the Yong Peng–Segamat road, the main access road to the district had to be maintained at a regular basis to ensure it was always in good condition.
“The allocation for maintenance of this road should be doubled for the comfort and safety of the road users.
“Good infrastructure could help to attract more investors and businesses to the district,” he said after inspecting the road with Segamat district Public Works Department engineer Azizan Dahari at Tenang Station here recently.
Chua, who is Agriculture and Agro-based Industry deputy minister, said this year, the government through Works Ministry had approved RM500,000 allocation to repair several stretches of the Federal route.
The affected stretches were in Bukit Mambai, Felda Redong Satu junction and Kampung Usaha Jaya.
The repair works are expected to begin after Chinese New Year, said Chua, adding that the upgrading of bridges had began last year.
Chua also said last year, the government allocated between RM3mil and RM4mil to upgrade the road and bridges along the Yong Peng- Segamat road stretches 56km from Yong Peng up north to Segamat town.
