In a study carried out via the public works department (JKR), the Malaysian works ministry is said to be testing the use of hard rubber in road asphalt mixtures. According to Bernama, deputy minister Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin confirmed that several pilot projects were ongoing.
“The project which was completed last December (2015) is at Jalan Gemas-Rompin, Negeri Sembilan while the other four projects, namely one each in Kedah, Pahang, Kelantan and Selangor will be completed this year,” she said at the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
“At the moment, JKR, together with the Malaysian Rubber Board is analysing the performance of the road pavement at the site which has been completed,” she said. It was previously reported that rubberised roads had proven to have a longer lifespan compared to normal tarmac.
However, the deputy minister explained that there still are other factors that need to be considered before moving ahead. These include the availability of the necessary raw materials, the suitability of equipment, the quality of the bitumen rubber produced and the overall cost of the new methods.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
All these no need lah. basic potholes and smooth surface also cannot solve.
Have you driven in PJ lately? Everywhere also like Safari. Your car and go up and down like you are driving Land Rover in off road.
No need rubber roads. This is some jalan for some crony to make money. Solve the basic roads all over PJ, KL and Subang and Shah Alam first.
Why u don’t ask Selangor govt..road that u said is road maintain by state govt minus kl.
Work ministry is under BN la… Utusan boy wake up !!!
The state govt gets hundreds of millions from the federal govt for road maintenance every year based on some formula which includes how many km of roads there are in the state. How the state govt uses the money is up to them.
Look up the AG’s annual reports on Selangor and you’ll find that for years they’ve been using only a small fraction of this money to actually maintain roads.
Cuz 3 Billion alredi went to Dear Leader pocket
Everybody know Work Ministry is federal govt agency..But the road repair is under state govt jurisdiction excluding highway or federated road or federal territory road or felda road.
kzm, pls open your mind and not just read Utusan. Rakyat got the right to complain to even the King if we want to
kzm, get real lah. Fed Gomen controls everything. Get real.
Please wake up. If federal gov can control everything, Penang won’t last a month without all the allocation.
Because Selangor gov wants to save money. Every year they must show they have surplus, compared to when it was under BN.
It is Syabas that causes the road holes. And Syabas is BN lah
Still 30% shares is own by Selangor state own investment fund..both equally guilty.
Yeah. Next claim is Fed Gov controls the hot weather to punish the pipu, right? Grow up and do some reading, not just belip what Dear Leader spins
kzm , 30% syabas shares own by Selangor state is a minority and does not give them control . BN cybertroopers dont know how to count ? JPM should sack you.
Hello Datuk, even in PJ New Town, the corrupted MBPJ cannot even implement a 1 way system that has taken 3 years.
Everyday, so many accidents happen. 2 lanes suddenly become one. here lubang, there lubang. No lights everyhwere in the night. Every night so many old people drive into the divider even.
Rosnah, come and solve the corruption going on with the MBPJ. Already got 10 stoporders because they get RM2 ringit companies to do the contract work.
U ask the wrong person..MBPJ is under Selangor govt.
kzm, maybe people already complain to MBPJ and Selangor. now they are asking Fed Gomen. Open your mind a bit
Jangan persoal Party Hard otherwise they say u r BN lapdog
In b4 any development means crony, so we better live in trees.
kzm still talking nonsense. All directions come from Fed Government. All local councils head are from Fed Gomen also despite opposition
I don’t know whether u or me talk nonsense..
Pls do some reading, majority Selangor local councilors come from Party Hard. The rest come from PH-friendly NGOs. BN no longer got any say in Selangor Gov.
Rubber is cheap now, go for it if it makes the roads more durable and less maintenance required.
you know is me.. “Please do not feed the troll” =)
