The Jelapang Death Toll (Plaza)

::This is the latest news on the relocation of the Jelapang Toll Plaza ::

Construction of new Jelapang Toll Plaza begins next January... In IPOH, construction of a new toll plaza to replace the Jelapang Toll Plaza will start next January as soon as its design has been prepared by the Works Ministry.

Its deputy minister, Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed, said Saturday the design work was expected to be completed by December.

Construction of the toll plaza was expected to take 30 months, he told reporters after attending a briefng by the Perak Public Works Department here.

Mohd Zin said the new toll plaza will be built based on the ministry's original proposal to eliminate the Jelapang Toll and the Ipoh Selatan Toll and provide a free alternative route for Ipoh residents.

He also said work to upgrade roads identified as dangerous throughout the country were still being implemented.

In Perak, some RM4 million have been spent to repair dangerous roads, including in Hilir Perak, Kerian, Kuala Kangsar, Larut Matang and Selama.

It looks like the Plus N-S highway users will have to wait at least 3 years before the relocation will occur. In the meanwhile, will the Works Ministry take some positive steps to ensure that the "killer stretch" will not continue to take its death toll on the highway users? Why is the Works Ministry not interested in implementing the shifting of the toll plaza to the Sungai Perak layoff, even if it temporarily while waiting for the elevated interchanges to be constructed. This will at the least reduce accidents at the present site. Will the DAP, PAS, PKR or any NGOs take up the cause, before another death occur? Is it more important to ensure that oft quoted need to provide a free alternative route for Ipoh residents more important?

MALAYSIA, a great place to be in, BUT we can, will and must make HER better.

You may say I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.
