ENGINEER Vs ‘ENJIN AIR’ IN LINTAS ROAD

THE SEVERE deformation of road conditions arising from the construction of trunk sewer pipelines and manholes along the stretch of (a) Penampang By Pass – Jalan Pintas linking Kota Kinabalu to Donggongon (b) Jalan Lintas, linking the Kota Kinabalu International Airport and the Junction of Jalan Tuaran/Jalan Lintas, has been a sore point of much inconvenience and real concern to many road users.

Besides safety risks to motorists and pedestrians alike, the severe disruption to traffic flow without adequate diversion management and alternative provision, have also caused much stress and loss of productivity to many road users and transporters.

The much deformed Jalan Pintas and Jalan Lintas will need a major rectification work. As the sewerage project is already costing the tax payers some RM 100 million, who will be forking out again to repair the deformed dual carriageway, an unnecessary exercise which could have been avoided in the first place.

Many unhappy road user from Kg. Nosoob, Kg Ganang & Kg Gunsing in Kepayan were concerned the way the laying of sewerage pipes by the contractors. Substantial amount of longitudinal cracks are visible along the highway, with unacceptable subsidence and deformation along it.

To make matters worse, the road user even went to the site to look for the engineers, with a very bewildering feedback: 'Tak Ada Engineer Turun'.

How do we expect Jalan Lintas not deforming and the traffic flow disruption minimized when there is no or inadequate supervision on site. How do we not expect poor workmanship and poor quality of construction work and unacceptable traffic flow management when on site supervision from all parties involved in the sewerage contract is 'tidak turun padang bah' instead of regular basis daily.

Dr Roland Chia who is also PKR Supreme Council member, whilst receiving these complains urged the relevant authorities to ensure proper supervision by their consultants and the contractors undertaking all public works projects, including the sewerage projects mentioned above. The tax payers' money should be well-spent and not on bailing out shoddy and unprofessional works
