JPJ 砂拉越使用伪装方法监控高速巴士司机

古晋：砂拉越陆路交通局（JPJ）将采用冒充高速巴士乘客的方法来监控司机，并确保他们遵守道路规则。 大马交通部副部长拿督哈斯比哈比波拉表示，这一举措旨在通过监控司机在出行时的行为来确保乘客的安全。 “我们会在公交车上安置间谍或‘耳目’来监视司机。这是为了确保他们在开车时不使用手机，在预定距离需要更换司机时更换司机，不超过允许的时间限制，不开快车。” 他周五在古晋中央车站巴士总站出席2024年圣诞节道路安全宣传计划，在接受记者访问时，这么说。 与此同时，拿督哈斯比强调，如果有违规的情况，他们将采取严厉行动。 “如果检查员发现任何违规行为，巴士将立即停止并采取适当行动。公司还负责在必要时通过更换新司机来确保旅程能够继续。” 据他表示，这项行动不仅在圣诞节期间进行，也在农历新年和开斋节等其他节日期间进行。 他希望这一步骤能够全年实施。—UKAS刊。

RECODA Continues To Play Pivotal Role In Driving PCDS 2030 

KUCHING: The Regional Corridor Development Authority (RECODA) continues to play a pivotal role in driving Sarawak's Post-COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 and advancing its vision to become a high-income and developed region by 2030. By executing the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE) Development Plan, the authority has achieved remarkable milestones in infrastructure and socio-economicdevelopment, fostering investment opportunities, generating employment, and improving livelihoods across the SCORE region. RECODA Chief Executive Officer Datuk Ismawi Ismuni said in 2024, its strategic initiatives continued to emphasise urban-rural economic integration, ensuring balanced growth and equitable opportunities for all Sarawakians. "This approach has created a cohesive landscape where communities thrive together, bridging the divide between urban and rural areas. "Our commitment to bridging the urban-rural divide was evident in the successful execution of 275 infrastructure projects supported by both Sarawak and Federal allocations. "These projects include the construction of roads, bridges, utility infrastructure, and initiatives aimed at poverty eradication," he said in a statement on Wednesday. Across the three Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) – the Upper Rajang Development Agency (URDA), Highland Development Agency (HDA), and Northern Region Development Agency (NRDA)- Datuk Ismawi noted that RECODA successfully completed 138 projects, with 64 projects currently under implementation and 45 in design, planning, or tendering stages. Additionally, among the Federal projects in the SCORE region, 16 have been completed, 9 are under implementation, and 1 is in the detailed design phase. He noted that the SCORE region has received a total approved investment of RM123 billion this year, with projected job creation of 53,829. In Bintulu, The Samalaju Industrial Park (SIP) remains a cornerstone of score’s economic achievements, drawing global investments, particularly in the steel and solar manufacturing industry. This year, SIP has 14 approved investors, with a total approved investment of RM51.6 billion, underscoring Sarawak’s status as a power-rich investment destination. "We are also proud that our work aligns seamlessly with Sarawak’s Post COVID-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the Sustainable Sarawak Blueprint, reaffirming our commitment to long-term sustainability and prosperity for the region," Datuk Ismawi added. "The coming year promises exciting developments, with transformative infrastructure projects on the horizon. "Among these are the Northern Coastal Highway (NCH) in Limbang and Lawas; roads connecting Miri-Marudi, Marudi-Mulu, and Long Panai-Long Lama (MMMLL); and Phase 1 of the New Lawas Airport - all scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2025. "These projects will bring Sarawak closer to achieving a comprehensive road network, ensuring better connectivity for communities in the interior and unlocking new opportunities for growth and development. "As we step into 2025, let us carry forward the momentum we have built together, embracing new challenges and opportunities with the same determination and shared vision that have brought us this far. "Together, we will shape a brighter, more sustainable future for Sarawak."-UKASnews
