  • CH Jalan Simpang Pulai
    CASE HISTORY Ref: MM033 — Rev:00, February 2006 SLOPE EROSION PROTECTION KELANTAN - TERENGGANU, MALAYSIA HYDRAULIC & EROSION CONTROL Product: REINFORCED ENKAMAT Problem The Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) authorities decided to build a new road from Simpang Pulai - Lojing - Gua Musang - Kuala Berang. During the construction, cutting of the hill was necessary to gain the road’s design width. The slope was stabilized with soil nailing. Due to steep angle and heavy downpour, the slope surface was prone to erosive activities. Solution In order to solve the problem, Reinforced Enkamat was proposed and subsequently selected. It was the preferred solution due to its engineering ability in reducing surface runoff. It also helps to enhance vegetation, thus holding soil particles during vegetation growth. The combination of Reinforced Enkamat and vegetation acted as a thick blanket to prevent surface erosion. Additionally, it brings green life to the original slope where grass can re-grow. Before construction The economical benefit and ease of installation shows that Reinforced Enkamat stands out from the rest; and the end result bring out the effects as a natural and green slope without compromising its duty in engineering application.

  • Causeway Link Buses Now Available from Mall of Medini to Singapore
    5/5/2016 Causeway Link buses now available from Mall of Medini to Singapore | New Straits Times | Malaysia General Business Sports and Lifestyle News Causeway Link buses now available from Mall of Medini to Singapore BY CHUAH BEE KIM ­ 16 MARCH 2016 @ 8:30 PM Tweet ISKANDAR PUTERI: Those who commute to Singapore can now head to the Mall of Medini to take the Causeway Link buses to the republic. Handal Indah Sdn Bhd executive director Rozlan A. Bakar said the mall has more than 1,000 parking spaces for commuters to park their cars before taking the buses to Singapore to work. Rozlan said there are 50 trips from the mall to the Sultan Abu Bakar Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex in the Second Link from as early as 5am, and daily services from the Sultan Iskandar CIQ Building to Singapore via the Causeway. A total of 1.1 million commuters use the Causeway Link buses daily to and from Singapore to Johor per month, which is about 36,000 commuters a day. On challenges faced by Handal Indah, Rozlan said the company has a shortage of bus drivers and the road conditions also cause buses to have a shorter lifespan and suffer breakdowns. "A total of 150 buses can head to Singapore in a day, and the same number come to Johor via Singapore," he told a Press conference here today. "However, we take steps to improve comfort for commuters and we upgrade on technology," he said. As for buses plying routes in the city, Rozlan said there are 200 buses for this and the waiting time is 20 minutes per bus.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.
