RM25.2 Million Allocated For Solar LED Lights At 32 High-risk Highway Locations – Nanta

KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 -- The government has allocated RM25.2 million for the initial phase of installing solar-powered LED street lights at 32 high-risk and accident-prone locations along highway networks nationwide. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the initiative, under the MADANI Monitoring programme, involves the installation of 3,000 light poles to enhance road users’ safety at the identified locations. He said the project is a proactive measure by the Works Ministry, together with the Finance Ministry and the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM), in response to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s call when he announced the related allocation in the 2026 Budget in October last year. “The government takes road accidents very seriously. The original allocation mentioned earlier was RM30 million, but for this initial phase, we are allocating RM25 million first. The remaining funds will be disbursed after we assess requirements from time to time. "The Letter of Acceptance (SST) has been handed over to the selected contractor today, which means physical works on site can commence immediately. The project is targeted for full completion by the end of November this year," he said. -- BERNAMA
