KEPALA BATAS – The Works Ministry will ensure Budget 2023, to be tabled next month, will focus on improving road facilities and conditions for the comfort and safety of its users.
Senior Works Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said, in general, much emphasis will be given to providing improved facilities for the people’s well-being.
“For Budget 2023, we already have had sessions handled by the Finance Ministry in which our ministry will give priority to improving roads.
“This includes using cost-saving light-emitting diode lamps and also smart traffic lights that not only would provide comfort to road users but also help reduce traffic congestion.
“We feel that the smart traffic lights system is more efficient. For example, if traffic is congested, the system will shorten the waiting time,” he told reporters here today after officiating a project to expand the road from Permatang Pak Elong to the Merdeka Bridge.
The tabling of the Budget 2023 will take place on October 7. – Bernama, September 11, 2022
