Selangor state government announces allocation of RM145 million for series of roadwork projects in 2023

The Selangor government has approved an allocation of RM145 million for the purpose of improving the network of road systems in the state next year. This was announced by menteri besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari in his presentation of the state’s 2023 budget yesterday.

According to Amirudin, a total of RM40.98 million will be distributed to the public works department (JKR) to carry out the construction of new roads in several locations. The areas involved are:

  • Kampung Sri Indah A to Sungai Buloh Hospital (RM10.98 million)
  • The Sungai Kelambu-Genting Sanyen connection road (RM13.5 million)
  • Kampung Ulu Chuchuh to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (RM16 million)

He said that these new roads would be a catalyst for economic growth in the areas surrounding several districts such as Gombak, Kuala Langat and Sepang.

    Looks good.

    Reducing accidents is 1st thing 1st to reduce traffic jam.
    Even though 80% are caused by Reckless and Careless Drivers and Riders.

            You mean to say PN members still can’t accept when PN members already lose and can’t form their government and try to topple government to form as backdoor government again.

    Just casual observation, our roads don’t last and require constant repatching because they are not properly done

    1. poor drainage causing water damage to foundation
    2. poor coordination with utilities companies . often we see newly laid roads being dug up and then patched poorly
    3. suboptimal thickness of foundation
    4. poor resurfacing job, where the old surface is not removed /scored prior to resurfacing
    5. poor workmanship

    RM11.8 million can get 2 new bridge & upgrade 1 old bridge. This is probably 20% of the usual costs we see from ‘the other’ government haha

    Also too many speed bumps. Speed bumps should be restricted to residential areas, schools and such. Not for major roads. There are many other ways to make traffic flow more efficient, not just by upgrading or making roads wider.

    old Klang Road, jalan puchong, had been neglected for many years. pot holes and bumps everywhere. the contractors employed are doing poor job. they plaster small lump of bitumen there and consider job completed. after only few weeks, hole returns. typical malaysian contactors. do quick low-quality job. Bandaraya need to asses the repair before making payment.

  • It’s about time that Selangor state government repair the roads. So many pot holes everywhere along Jalan Meru, Jalan Kapar areas. I have not seen any major road resurfacing job since they took over. Spend wisely for rakyat, not just keep money.
