Road users of the Bintulu-Bakun Road, especially those from Sg Asap, Tubau and Belaga, are lost for words whenever they use this road () or when they talked about it.
What they couldn’t understand is how a road which snakes through the mammoth Bakun Dam and vast areas laden with timber-related activities could be left to rot.
The road is filled with potholes of all sizes and is extremely difficult to negotiate even for experienced drivers.
In fact, the road is so dangerous that news of fatal accidents don’t surprise the locals anymore. But we have no choice!
Most motorists avoid using the road at night as they considered it to be too risky. It is also very dangerous during heavy rain as we won't be able to guess where the potholes are, we just drive by faith.
As a local from Sg ASAP Koyan we just couldn't understand why the Federal or state authorities did not bother to maintain this main road for the people.
I came back for a holiday on May 30th during harvest festival and I must admit I was very very disappointed with the condition of the road. It is unacceptable and very dangerous for road users. The government says people first, performance now is not as real thing it is a virtual things to me...work the talk please.
The people are not asking for a new road. All they want is for the government to maintain the Bintulu-Bakun road properly. That’s all.
