GUA MUSANG, Feb 2 — Work to repair the slope along route FT185, Section 107.6, Jalan Lojing-Gua Musang here is expected to begin in March, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
He said they would initially construct a temporary road diversion so that the route could be reopened to motorists.
“The Slope Engineering Branch of the Public Works Department (JKR), as the project director, would be given the responsibility of planning, managing and supervising the slope’s maintenance work.
“The long-term contract for the implementation of maintenance work for this slope reflects the Madani government’s concern and commitment to continue improving the quality of road infrastructure, including slopes, for the comfort and safety of road users,” he said.
He told reporters this after surveying the sites of packages 3B and 3C of the Lingkaran Tengah Utama (LTU) project here today, which was also attended by Kelantan JKR director Nik Badlihisham Nik Ismail.
The route had to be fully closed to all types of vehicles due to a landslide on December 3 last year.
In another development, Nanta said the government has also allocated RM96 million to upgrade the East-West Highway (JRTB), involving the section in Kelantan.
He also said that preliminary work for the project could commence this year, and hoped that some of it could be physically implemented next year. — Bernama

KLUANG: Kira-kira 35 peratus daripada keseluruhan kawasan kebakaran seluas sembilan hektar melibatkan ladang kelapa sawit dan ladang nanas di Ladang Peninsular Plantation Sdn. Bhd., Simpang Renggam di sini telah berjaya dikawal setakat pukul 11.30 pagi tadi.
Ketua Zon 3 Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat Malaysia (JBPM) Johor, Penguasa Kanan Bomba II, Siti Hajar Sanusi berkata, kerja-kerja pemadaman kebakaran sedang dijalankan dengan kekuatan seramai 28 anggota bomba.
Menurutnya, usaha tersebut turut dibantu anggota pelbagai agensi termasuklah dari Majlis Perbandaran Kluang (MPK) dan Majlis Daerah Simpang Renggam (MDSR) serta pekerja ladang.
“Sebuah jentera beserta lima tangki air digunakan di lokasi dengan kerja pemadaman dibuat secara tompokan sejak kelmarin dan masih diteruskan sehingga hari ini. Selain itu sembilan unit pemadam api jenis GS Mark II telah dipasang dan beroperasi 24 jam.
“Manakala operasi pemadaman api secara fizikal akan diteruskan anggota bomba terlibat,” katanya dalam kenyataan hari ini.
Tambah Siti Hajar, pihaknya bagaimanapun berdepan beberapa cabaran termasuklah kekurangan sumber air di lokasi serta keadaan cuaca semasa.
“Kebakaran ini melibatkan tanah gambut di kawasan ladang nanas dan kelapa sawit dimana akses terhadap bekalan air adalah kurang, cuaca panas dan berangin juga menyukarkan operasi dijalankan.
“Anggota bertindak melakukan kaedah ‘fire break’ dimana ia telah siap digali pada jarak 350 meter daripada sasaran 500 meter, kita jangka ia akan siap dilaksana sepenuh hari ini,” ujarnya lagi.
Bagaimanapun, Siti Hajar turut mengakui risiko kebakaran merebak masih wujud sekiranya keadaan kering berterusan.
Kebakaran tanah gambut di Simpang Renggam itu melibatkan kawasan ladang nanas seluas kira-kira 4.85 hektar manakala selebihnya adalah kawasan ladang sawit. – UTUSAN
Jamawi: DID to expedite compensation negotiations for Calvary Charismatic Church Tenom

TENOM (Feb 2): The Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) will expedite the compensation process and price negotiations involving Calvary Charismatic Church Tenom.
The church is affected by a flood mitigation project in the Tenom area.
Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food Industry Minister Datuk Jamawi Jaafar said the matter needs serious attention to ensure that the welfare of the church and its congregation continue to be safeguarded.
“I have visited the Calvary Charismatic Church Tenom site, which is located along the alignment of the flood mitigation embankment currently being constructed and to be constructed by contractors,” said the Melalap assemblyman.
“The church management has requested that the compensation process and price negotiations be expedited and that the offer be made at a more reasonable rate in line with current market value.”
Jamawi said based on information received, government valuers have already assessed the affected area, but the church is of the view that the value offered remains insufficient.
“In this regard, the church has appointed a private valuer, and I hope that the valuation report can be submitted promptly so that the price negotiations can be finalised in the best possible manner,” he said.
He explained that the finalisation of compensation negotiations is crucial to enable the church to plan its relocation and to secure a new site.
Jamawi also thanked the Calvary Charismatic Church Tenom management for their cooperation throughout the implementation of the project.
On the possibility of retaining the existing site, he said the land in question had been gazetted in 2022 for the flood mitigation project.
“I have been informed by the DID as well as by the church itself that this land has been gazetted.
“Should there be an intention to revoke or amend the gazettement, the process would be lengthy and would need to be brought before the State Legislative Assembly, in addition to involving several other procedures,” he said.
As such, he said the church is also unwilling to bear prolonged uncertainty.
“Therefore, their main request is that the compensation rate offered be reasonable and in line with current values to enable them to acquire a new building,” he said.
Jamawi stressed that the state government is committed to ensuring the implementation of public development projects does not disrupt social harmony or infringe upon the rights of any party.
“We want development to proceed smoothly, while at the same time ensuring that the welfare of the people and religious institutions continues to be protected,” he said.

Ketua Balai Bomba Penyelamat Penawar, Pegawai Kanan Penguasa Bomba Kanan (PKPgB) Soleh Nasir berkata, setakat ini pihak bomba telah berjaya memadamkan 57 peratus daripada keseluruhan kawasan kebakaran menggunakan kawalan ‘fire break’.

Katanya, operasi hari kedua semalam diteruskan dan kebakaran terus berlaku didalam kawasan Bio Desaru sahaja dianggarkan 50 ekar.
Menurutnya, bantuan backhoe mendalamkan parit dilakukan agar takungan air menjadi banyak dan tidak menggangu operasi.
“Pemadaman berjaya ditingkatkan dari 40 ekar ke 60 ekar, Namun, pemantauan udara menggunakan drone mendapati asap masih banyak berikutan terdapat kawasan mempunyai kayu tunggul dan tanah gambut sekitar 10 ekar,” ujarnya.
