00:00 At this moment, there are several JKR projects underway in Pontian area.
00:09 The first is the replacement of the bridge and also the enlargement of the bridge of the Pontian River, which we will visit later.
00:20 That amounted to 23.1 million.
00:25 The next is the road project to Tarap from Peganganas to Tanjung Pial, which amounted to 65.6 million.
00:36 Then, we also have completed the road from Bukit Nyamuk to Puteri Menangis, Pontian area, which amounted to 90 million.
00:53 These are the three main projects.
00:59 One in the middle, one on the right, and one on the left.
01:02 It seems that the government has given all these projects to the region.
01:11 I would like to inform that we will also request, and have requested,
01:17 the enlargement of the road from MRSM to Tampok, the enlargement of the road from Benot to Tol Semparanggam.
01:27 That is important because that road is used by many users during the festive season or every day.
01:38 The main road, the important one, is the road of the association.
01:41 And one is the enlargement of the road of the state government from Ai Baloi to Tol Sedena.
01:47 That is the road of the state government.
01:50 And why do we request for the road to be enlarged?
01:53 Because there is Sedena Industrial Park there, which houses so many factories from abroad
02:02 and provides thousands of jobs to the residents of Pontian, Semparanggam and Kulai, as well as the Kota Pahat area.
02:11 Therefore, it needs to be enlarged.
02:15 So that's it.
02:18 What has been passed and what has been proposed.
02:21 [Indistinct chatter]
02:35 There is an extension of time.
02:37 [Indistinct chatter]
02:42 September 9, 2025.
02:45 Next year.
02:46 I don't know how many months.
02:48 It's too late.
02:51 But that's the open tender.
02:55 So, we have made a decision to the company, so it should be implemented quickly.
03:04 The bridge will be four lanes, right?
03:08 Four lanes?
03:09 Two lanes.
03:11 Two left and two right.
03:13 So, when the four lanes, the bridge that was built by Jentay Nol several times in his decision,
03:20 I remember the decision to include it,
03:24 it needs to be chased too, right?
03:28 Although it is four lanes,
03:31 that's just two lanes at the end of the bridge.
03:35 So, it's a defense.
03:38 Okay.
