SUPP Public Complaints Bureau Chief and SUPP Candidate for N12 Kota Sentosa, Wilfred Yap was recently approached by residents living at Taman Mei Lee, Lorong 6, Jalan Stakan near 7th Mile Commercial Area on the blocking of the road by the contractor appointed by Padawan Municipal Council for construction works for the widening of a concrete drain at the entrance of Lorong 6.
Following the request for assistance received, Wilfred Yap immediately went to inspect and assess the situation and also to see what can be done to resolve and minimize the traffic problem. During the site visit, it was discovered that the signage put up by the contractor was inadequate as the contractor did not provide any notice on the alternative routes available to residents staying there. It was also discovered that the earth dug up for the widening of the drains were not immediately removed but left on the road which blocked half the road..
The matter have since been highlighted and brought up to the attention of the Engineering Section of Majlis Perbandaran Padawan (MPP) who have requested the contractor to put up a proper signage indicating available alternative access routes and also to remove the earth as soon as possible instead of leaving it by the road. The contractor have also been requested by MPP to take steps to ease traffic congestion by not carrying out works which might disrupt traffic flow during peak hours to ease traffic flow.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau is always ready to lend a helping hand to the anyone facing problems or who come across problems of public interest but does not know how to deal with it. Anyone requiring assistance can always call SUPP Public Complaint’s mobile number at 016-7797688 or 082-246999 or go direct to SUPP Head Office to request for assistance.
