  "account": "Melaka's acting PKR chairman, Adam Adli Abdul Halim, has proposed more effective traffic management systems to combat congestion in the state. The issue has been a frequent concern among the public, leading to requests for the reduction of traffic lights in his constituency of Hang Tuah Jaya. Smart Melaka encompasses various initiatives, including traffic management, delivery system improvements, and other areas. Adam highlighted the potential of traffic light technology, particularly high-capacity smart traffic light systems, as well as the need for cooperation among various parties and research and development to identify the most effective solutions. He expressed hope for collaboration between Universiti Teknologi MARA (UTeM) and traffic light manufacturers to develop more efficient traffic management systems. Adam made these remarks during a Lepak Santai program alongside Selangor assemblyman Syed Ahmad Syed Abdul Rahman Al-Hadad and Bentong MP Young Syefura Othman.",
