Malaysia-Thailand Border Road Project Will Be Accelerated
Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, has requested that work on the road alignment project connecting the Bukit Kayu Hitam and Sadao immigration complexes at the Malaysia-Thailand border be expedited.
According to The Star, he stated that the project, for which the initial design of the road alignment was completed last year, was critical in ensuring faster and more comfortable traffic flow on both sides.
Malaysian and Thai prime ministers met on Monday at a border crossing point between the two Southeast Asian countries to inspect a road alignment project at the Thai-Malaysia border in northern Bukit Kayu Hitam town of Kedah state, which connects with Thailand's southernmost tip.
“The alignment project has been delayed and must be done immediately. It took some time because it involved military areas. Within two weeks, we will make a final decision to iron out the matter,” Anwar said.
“We will focus on speeding up the construction of the connectivity projects at the border, which is aimed at promoting business and improving the well-being of the people. Things cannot be delayed anymore as we want to have growth, which includes the tourism sector as well,” he added.
