KUCHING: Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd has expressed interest in working with the Sarawak Petroleum Product Agents’ Association to promote road safety.
In a statement today (Sept 16), Sarawak Metro chief executive officer (CEO) Mazli Mustaffa said the proposal was raised by the association’s chairperson Laura Hartini Maurice during their recent engagement session.
“We look forward to collaborating with the association, especially as Sarawak Metro is always prioritising on safety,” Mazli informed the association members during their recent engagement with Sarawak Metro.
He also said Sarawak Metro welcomed opportunities to work closely with the association in the development of the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project, noting that some petrol stations are located along the project’s alignment.
“We always welcome the feedback from all our stakeholders, especially during this phase of our project as our construction works become more intense in the coming months.
“Aside from ensuring the safety of the public and our workers during this construction phase, we are also focused on reducing the disruptions caused by the works, particularly in terms of traffic management near our construction sites,” he said.
Meanwhile, Laura also conveyed her members’ request to be notified in ample time when construction works are being carried out near their members’ stations, to allow them to make necessary preparations.
“The members also requested for regular engagement with Sarawak Metro as they are also supportive of the government’s project, which aimed at improving the socio-economic landscape of the city,” she said.
