The tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan, or Rancangan Malaysia Ketiga Belas (RMK13) by prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament today has revealed plans for the upgrading of highways and roads nationwide, as part of the government’s plan and budget for the next five years until 2030.
Upgrading works will be carried out on a number of highways, including the PLUS highway for the Senai Utara – Machap stretch in Johor, and the Juru – Sungai Dua stretch in Pulau Pinang, as well as the construction of the Lebuhraya Lingkaran Tengah Utama (Central Spine Road) in Pahang and Kelantan.
Roads in rural areas will also be given attention, with the upgrading and construction of 2,800 km of rural roads to be carried out as part of the 13th Malaysia Plan. This will include the main route from Nanga Serau to Nanga Seranau in Kapit, Sarawak, the route from the Sungai Air Tawar bridge to Hutan Melintang in Bagan Datuk, Perak, as well as in Pos Sinderut in Lipis, Pahang.
Meanwhile, RMK13 also sees the inclusion of the road-to-rail initiative that is aimed at shifting rail use for cargo from 6% to 13%, while at the same time aiming to reduce the risk of road accidents involving road freight.

Upgrading the roads is good but that central spine road is not necessary. We should discourage folks from East Coast from coming and mess up KV.
Is a disgrace that u have been born to this world, only brainless dude will talk like u…
The strong and determined will always overcome the weak. You whining weaklings will be crowded out of the KV by East Coast folks in two decades !
It has been 6 decades and the only thing coming out from East Coast folks are traffic jam and straining of social system.
were your ancestor one of the immigrants from fujian/guangdong? what do you want to say to yourself then?
The why didn’t the pendatangs balik ______ ?
Don’t be racist
And the above comment by newme isnt racist?! LOL on the minority playing the race card but disproves the other side playing the same game.
he himself could be a Malay that discriminates against East Coast people (especially ore Kelate), some Malays are like that too you know
Which part or my post mention race?
I will believe when i see it. Too many empty promises already made
Nothing new, PMX still failing on his promise to abolish tolls instead he implemented new tolled highways in this RMK. Boo!
