The Ministry of Works (KKR) has approved an application for RM113 million to maintain roads and slopes in states hit by flooding during the north-east monsoon, Bernama reported.
According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, the overall cost of road maintenance was RM57.6 million in 81 locations and RM55.4 million for slopes in 48 locations. The allocation involved four badly affected states: Johor (RM30.17 million), Kelantan (RM34 million), Pahang (RM28.3 million), and Terengganu (RM11.3 million), with the remainder divided among several other states.

“All these applications have been studied and the estimates have taken into account, from a technical point of view while all the work to be carried out is comprehensive, so we approved it (allocation),” he said at a press conference after conducting a survey at FT003 Jalan Johor Baru-Endau (Pulada) here two days ago.
The maintenance, according to the minister, will be completed as soon as possible, taking into account the current weather conditions. In addition, he stated that four road locations in Johor, including Jalan Kota Tinggi-Mersing, will be upgraded at a cost of RM120 million.

Meanwhile, Nanta announced that two project applications in Johor will be included in the fifth Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan that includes an RM6 million project to upgrade Jalan Kota Tinggi-Mersing and an RM30 million project to replace Kluang's Sungai Semaloh bridge.
