陈超耀：通过乡区转型计划确保社区环境更安全完善
砂旅游副部长兼卑尔骚区州议员拿督陈超耀表示，政府将持续通过乡区转型计划（RTP）推动基础设施提升，确保社区环境更安全完善。 他今早展开巡视行程，先后前往双溪巴翁（Sungai Baong）及瓜拉峇南巴都沙杜（Kuala Baram Batu 1 ）两处回教坟场，了解RTP 2026项目进展情况。 其中，双溪巴翁回教坟场项目拨款为10万令吉，而瓜拉峇南巴都沙杜回教坟场项目则为8万令吉，主要涉及设施提升与改善工程。 陈超耀在巡视巴都沙杜时指出，当地有两项需要优先处理的事项。第一是在当地建设一间看守屋，作为储存设备及供人员驻守用途。 他表示，根据当地居民反映，现有存放的物品曾发生失窃事件，因此有必要设立看守设施，以加强管理与安全。 “第二是提升电力相关设施，包括维修及基本电力配套，以确保当地运作顺畅。” 此外，他指出，较早前在双溪巴翁回教坟场进行的视察中，发现当地一座已有约20年历史的建筑物情况欠佳，结构因白蚁侵蚀而严重损坏。 “有关建筑物目前状况相当恶劣，确实有必要进行维修或重建。” 他也提到，当地照明设施不足，尤其是在凌晨时段环境昏暗，影响安全。 “根据反映，当地有人凌晨3时进出，但缺乏照明，因此提升照明系统是当务之急。” 他表示，相关工程团队及工程师将前往现场进行进一步评估，并拟定改善方案。 陈超耀强调，上述两个项目是目前最重要的社区发展项目之一，政府将继续通过RTP计划，推动地方建设与提升人民生活素质。
