Sultanate To Light Up In Stages
By Hjh Saemah Zulkefli

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Ministry of Development has undertaken the task of installing lights along roads in the country, especially along hazardous routes. However, the installation works will be carried out in stages and by priority.

The Ministry of Development yesterday revealed this during a Light Installation briefing. It was also revealed that such works would be done from the Sungai Tujuh Immigration Post right up to Kg Sg Teraban.

The installation project will also receive help from the Electrical Services Department, which is currently engaged in another project to light up the Kuala Balai area, surrounding of the Rasau Bridge Toll Booth, and the third junction of Kg Sg Teraban.

The ministry is also initiating another project to install lights on roads in areas that have not been included in the two projects.

Various issues regarding the involved districts and villages were also touched on during the meeting, such as those concerning the level of road standards, temporary land licences, and littering behind gas stations, among others.

On hand to officiate the dialogue session was Ministry of Information Director Awang Haji Bujang Bin Masu'ut. Also in attendance were Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office Pehin Dato Paduka Haji Awang Hazair, and other officers.

The standards of the road that connects the town of Kuala Belait with Kg Kuala Balai, will be raised for the sake of tourists and villagers in the area.

The Ministry of Development's move to up the road standards was only recently approved, and will be ready within six months. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
