KUALA LUMPUR: Investigations are underway to determine why several motorcyclists lost control on a green-colored lane on the Federal Highway near Subang, which is designed to be non-slippery. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi revealed that the Public Works Department (PWD) is currently examining the site and immediate remedial measures will be taken.
The minister expressed sorrow for those affected, particularly those injured in the incident, stating that it was unintentional. Nanta explained that the section was intended to have a non-skid surface, but acknowledged that other factors such as rain could also contribute to accidents. He emphasized that the investigation would determine all contributing factors, including whether the motorcyclists were traveling at excessive speeds.
PWD director-general Datuk Ibrahim Esa was informed of the incident and assured that immediate actions would be taken to address the issue and prevent future occurrences.
