He also thanked Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas and Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Dato Sri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah for swiftly responding to his complaint channelled via WhatsApp.“Last night at around 9pm, I received a phone call from a resident at Jalan Stakan, informing that there was some sinkage at the connecting part of the bridge and the road.“I immediately contacted the two state ministers and the director of state JKR.



All three responded almost immediately and inspection was carried out shortly last night,” he said in a statement yesterday.Chong said his service team visited the site and saw that red tape and some warning signs had been put up to warn the public.He hoped that an announcement on the integrity of the bridge structure will be made to inform the public in due course.

“There should also be a follow up on the repair work, which ought to be implemented quickly as this is one of the main roads connecting the Mile 7 bazaar to Muara Tuang road.“Until such time, if possible, members of the public should try to avoid using that section of the road,” added Chong.The post S’wak DAP chief commends swift action by JKR, ministers over Jln Stakan bridge Issue appeared first on Borneo Post Online.
