Federal Govt Must Allocate Fund for 2nd Kidurong Highway (Chinese & English Text)

民主行動党民都魯支部主席,砂羅越州民主行動党署理主席及砂羅越州吉多隆區立委周政新2O10年4月7日文告如下:

吉都隆区州议员周政新说该是时候联邦政府拨款兴建第二吉都隆大道了。

[ 可是叫我感到最遗憾的是，人民呐喊了这么多年，只见现有的吉都隆大道的状况却每况愈下。]

首相拿督斯里纳吉应该兑现他要发展砂州的承诺，砂州的道路系统太需要给与提升到至少也与西马的差不多，不然的话他所说的一切，只不过是美丽的政治口号了。

政府也说了许多要发展砂再生能源走廊(SCORE)，但是假如联邦政府没有慷慨拨款发展基本设施，我看不出该走廊的发展将如何会惠及全民。反而将是吉都隆路的塞车情况只会越来越糟糕。

今天的吉都隆双呈大道已建有三十余年的光景了并已活尽了它的用途。虽然说它是全马最有经济利益价值的大道，但是在上下班时间塞车的问题，却还是那么的严重。

本来20分钟就可驾完全呈的一条大道，可是塞车时却要花上一个小时，整条路车尾接车尾，从路头塞到路尾。

更不用说塞车的难受与火气，真的是太没有理由让人民每天这样的去受苦。

而且不止是塞车，该道路行驶的车辆小的从摩多西卡，大的到拖卡车，各自在大道上赶路真是惊险万分， 许多严重的车祸都已发生过了。

试问到底还要发生多少宗的车祸才能唤醒联邦政府来感受到人民的痛苦后才肯拨款。

我呼吁首相拿督斯里纳吉不要再犹豫了，不要再等待了，该是时候立刻拨款来兴建吉都隆第二大道来缓和该区的交通状况。


周政新。



Media Statement by Chiew Chin Sing, Chairman DAP Bintulu Branch , DAP Sarawak Deputy Chairman and Sarawak State Assemblyman for Kidurong on 7th April, 2010.


State Assemblyman for Kidurong Chiew Chin Sing said that it is high time that the Federal Government should allocate the money to build a second Kidurong highway.

‘It is most regrettable that after years and years of outcry from the people using the road yet nothing is done as the traffic situation gets worst and worst by the day.’

Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib must hounor his words and promises to develop Sarawak as it is time that the road system in Sarawak be developed, at least close to that in West Malaysia, else his words are nothing but mere political slogans.

There had been so much talk also about the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) but if the money for building the infrastructures does not come down, one wonder how the place could ever be properly developed for all to benefit. Kidurong road will only get more and more congested.

The dual carriage Kidurong highway built some 30 years ago had served its purpose. It is becoming too jammed for use especially during office hours. She had been one of the highest income generating road for the country for all these years.

What used to be a 20 minutes drive for the whole length of the road is now taking about an hour. During office hours the road is just jammed the whole way with cars stacking up tail to tail for almost the whole length of the road.

Frustrations can run high and temper flare in situations like these and there is no reason that the people using the Kidurong road should suffer like that each day.

And it is not just the jam, driving on such a busy highway when all types of vehicles ranging from motor cycles to trailer are each claiming their roads to the use of the road can be dangerous. Some many accidents had occurred.

How many more accidents will it take before the Fedeal Government wake up and empathize with the people of Kidurong and allocate the fund.

I urge the Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib Bin Razak to wait no more and have no second thoughts that the fund to build a second highway to alleviate the Kidurong road traffic must be allocated immediately.

Chiew Chin Sing.
