MIRI (March 10): A sum of RM45 million has been allocated for the permanent erosion control project of Lutong Beach here, said state Transport Minister Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin.
According to the Senadin assemblyman, the works are expected to take off next year, and are estimated to take three years to complete.
“In the meantime, temporary coastal protection works are being carried out as an immediate measure to prevent further erosion,” he said in a press conference here today.
The initiative, undertaken as part of Shin Yang Group’s corporate social responsibility efforts, involves the construction of a rock retaining wall reaching up to 3m in height, and spanning 400m in length along the section of Jalan Pantai, said to be the most vulnerable to wave impact.
Lee said having visited the site to inspect the progress of the temporary works, he was concerned that the ongoing erosion could soon affect the nearby housing areas.
“It can happen anytime, especially when there is a storm or high tide,” he said, acknowledging that for now, the temporary works progress stood at 90 per cent, with full completion expected within this week.
Lutong Beach has faced severe coastal erosion issues for years, prompting calls for long-term solutions.
In the past, strong waves and high tides had washed away parts of the shoreline, threatening the nearby infrastructure and houses.
The permanent coastal protection project will consist of several key components including beach ‘nourishment’, rock revetment, marine outfall, a tidal control gate, near-shore breakwaters, and an earth bund.

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim menepis dakwaan beberapa pihak yang masih memainkan isu terkait Akta Pembaharuan Semula Bandar (Akta PSB), sekali gus menegaskan tidak timbul isu Bumiputera dipinggirkan daripada arus kemajuan bandar.
Setiausaha Akhbar Kanan kepada Perdana Menteri, Tunku Nashrul Abaidah berkata, Perdana Menteri menegaskan undang-undang yang akan dibawa ke Parlimen kelak, tidak akan memaksa mana-mana pemilik rumah atau tanah untuk diusir.
"Akta itu juga tidak akan mengubah peratusan pemilikan Bumiputera atau mengubah komposisi etnik di sesuatu kawasan.
Oleh itu, tidak timbul isu Melayu Bumiputera dipinggirkan daripada arus kemajuan bandar kerana matlamat utamanya adalah memastikan peningkatan kualiti hidup masyarakat bandar, sekali gus meningkatkan kualiti hidup masyarakat Melayu itu sendiri," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada Taklimat Harian Pejabat Perdana Menteri yang disiarkan di Facebook PMO Malaysia, hari ini.
Tunku Nashrul turut menyampaikan ingatan Perdana Menteri supaya rakyat tidak mudah terpengaruh dengan sebarang kenyataan fitnah yang tidak berasas.
"Mengambil contoh terbaru, terdapat hantaran di laman sosial yang mengulangi naratif fitnah usang dan jahat, bertujuan menimbulkan kegusaran awam mengenai laungan azan.
"Naratif seperti ini akan muncul setiap kali musim pilihan raya. Budaya seperti ini perlu dinoktahkan segera bagi mengelak kesan buruk kepada masyarakat dan negara," katanya.
Sementara itu Perdana Menteri meminta Agensi Pengurusan Bencana Negara (NADMA) memperkemas penyelarasan kekuatan jentera persekutuan dan negeri bagi memastikan bantuan dapat disalurkan secara berterusan.
Tunku Nashrul Abaidah berkata, Perdana Menteri turut meminta NADMA untuk bekerjasama rapat dengan kerajaan negeri bagi memudahkan penyaluran bantuan kepada ketua isi rumah mangsa banjir yang terbabit.
"Perdana Menteri hari ini memberi perhatian khusus kepada situasi banjir yang berlaku di Sabah dan Sarawak ketika ini," katanya
