”The State Works Ministry will apply for an allocation. We will provide an estimate to the federal government,” he said, Wednesday. Bung said the area is a tourist attraction and a parking lot for visitors who want to visit Kinabalu Park.
Bung, who is also the Barisan Nasional (BN) Sabah Chairman, said if necessary, motorists can use the alternative road at Jalan Bundu Tuhan Kinasaraban and reminded them to be careful when passing through the road while Public Works Department (PWD) install warning signs as well as temporary maintenance work to prevent any collapse that could pose impact to the main road.
On the road collapse between Paitan and Kinabungan which also involved the Paitan Water Treatment Plant building, he said the PWD would use AP55 emergency allocation to improve the road.
Based on a report, he said so far, only the workers’ quarters building at the plant collapsed while the Water Treatment Plant building can still function.
