A further RM3.3 billion will be needed to resolve the backlog of maintenance works required for federal roads, according to works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, The Star reported.
This sum of money would be put towards maintaining 3,821.03 km of the nation’s federal roads, and this includes pothole repairs, the works minister said, adding that the sum of money is in addition to the RM3.3 billion that had been used for the same purpose in the period from 2018 to 2023.
“The allocation given during this period has still not been able to solve the problem of damaged roads as a whole. The deterioration has been caused by increasing traffic nationwide as well as overloaded heavy vehicles,” Nanta said.
This was during a Dewan Rakyat session in response to a question by Hulu Selangor member of parliament Mohd Hasnizan Harun, regarding the ministry’s efforts in overcoming the constant issue of road repair work throughout the country.
The works minister added that new “speciality mixes” are being used for road repairs, and these mixes had been developed between the ministry and private companies. These consist of crumb rubber modified asphalt, super fibre mix, and fibre mastic asphalt, among others.
Plants which manufacture the materials have been audited by the works ministry, according to Nanta. “This is to ensure that the quality of the materials used for these mixes and the mixes themselves match the ministry’s preset requirements and standards for road repair,” the minister said.

High time to replace them all with a competent Gomen.
But right now we don’t any competent party to replace them sadly
We had one that was running fine for 60 years. Its too late to bring him back and make him PM again.
Running fine? Running fine? Where we ditched our agricultural independence to syiok sendiri making tin can cars? Are you kidding me? Your proton/perodua can feed your kids at a reasonable price issit?
We had a functional long serving Gomen, an economy that was going up, rakyat had jobs, rakyat had money in bank, we no need raid our EPF money, inflation was low, USD $1 was only RM2.50 unlike today RM 4.70, we had no complaints on subsidising rakyats, we had everything but thanks to PH we threw away everything and left with shit.
this has just amplified the Risk Level of @ Malaysian’s Road.
new gov pockets to be filled…
RM3.3 billion is not much at all. There are 15 million cars & commercial vehicles on the road. It’s only RM200 per vehicle.
instead of giving free tolls every festive season, use the money to fix the road la. otak tak boleh fikir ka
the more articles like this pops up the more i get upset. please paultan dont make my heart pain.
We all know the lack of funds is due to tax collection shortfall of 15bn a year. cannot collect from business, collect from rakyat.
only in malaysia pandai cakap boleh menang, pandai buat kena kutuk, maki, caci, aib sampai x habis.
No wonder the talented individuals stay out of the gov. Respect to the competent that go through this on a daily basis only to be ousted at the end of the day.
60 years of competent government got replaced by lies. Well the rakyat has to live with it unless we bring them back make him PM again.
