suppadmin | March 25, 2018

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg will walk the talk when it comes to implementing projects for the people.

He said he will reveal the routes for the state’s LRT project on March 29 while officiating the ‘Harmony Nite’ concert held at Kota Sentosa Square.

Kota Sentosa is included in the route to deal with the traffic jam. He said there was no traffic jam in the early days, but due to economic growth now, the area is now booming.

Abang Jo also hit out at the Opposition for their heavy criticism of the LRT project, saying that once the project is completed, they will also no doubt take a ride on the LRT.

He added that the LRT trains will be powered by hydrogen gas – a technology that is currently used in China.

Abang Johari further emphasised that the state government has consistently looked into the interest of those living in Kota Sentosa and its surrounding areas through various infrastructure development.

Such included Kuching Sentral and the proposal of a Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) – a collaboration with AirAsia in the area, he said.

Presented at the concert were Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak, Minister of Local Government and Housing Datuk Dr Sim Kui Hian, Minister of Works Datuk Sri Fadillah Yusof, State Secretary Tan Sri Datuk Amar Morshidi Abdul Ghani and various community leaders.
