PH Candidate Yeo Tung Siong Criticises Delays in Pekan Nanas Bypass Road Project

PONTIAN, July 8 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Pekan Nanas state seat, Yeo Tung Siong, has expressed disappointment over the continued delays to the proposed Pekan Nanas bypass road project, claiming that the development has repeatedly been sidelined in favour of other projects under the Johor Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration. In a media statement issued today, Yeo said the proposed alternative route connecting Jalan Sawah in Pekan Nanas to Ulu Choh had faced repeated postponements due to funding priorities being shifted to other projects. He said the development of Pekan Nanas should not be neglected, especially as other areas such as Iskandar Puteri and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) continue to progress rapidly. “Residents of Pekan Nanas are still facing the same traffic congestion issues every day, despite these problems being preventable with proper infrastructure planning,” he said. Yeo claimed that during his tenure as Pekan Nanas assemblyman from 2018 to 2021, he had raised the issue at least four times in the Johor State Legislative Assembly and continued engaging relevant government agencies to push for the project. He said these efforts eventually led to the project being included in the Johor Budget 2021 under the Johor Infrastructure package for roads and bridges. According to Yeo, the land acquisition process began after the project was included in the state budget. However, following the 2022 general election, he continued monitoring its progress and sought assistance from DAP Johor Opposition Leader Andrew Chen to raise the matter in the state assembly. Yeo said he was disappointed with the Johor government’s response in 2024, claiming the project had been postponed in 2023 and 2024 due to rising construction costs and the need to apply for an increase in the project ceiling allocation. He questioned the state government’s decision to prioritise other projects, saying the bypass road was important to improve the daily lives of tens of thousands of residents. Yeo also highlighted that the Johor government recorded a fiscal surplus of RM95.38 million in 2024, questioning why the project could not proceed despite available financial resources. “This is not merely a question of funding, but whether there is the commitment and determination to implement the project,” he said. Comparing the records of representatives involved in the constituency, Yeo claimed that he had continued pushing the project forward even while in opposition, while the current government representative had not been able to ensure its implementation. He added that the delay had worsened traffic conditions in Pekan Nanas, with heavy vehicles such as sand lorries continuing to use Jalan Sawah, contributing to congestion affecting residents travelling to work and sending children to school. Yeo urged Pekan Nanas voters to give him another opportunity to represent them in the Johor State Legislative Assembly, pledging to continue advocating for the bypass road project until it is implemented and completed. He is contesting the N55 Pekan Nanas state seat as a PH candidate in the 16th Johor State Election (PRU16). -- MINUTESMY

PH’s Nor Zulaila Calls for Stronger River Protection, Sustainable Development in Tiram

JOHOR BAHRU, July 8 — Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Tiram state seat, Nor Zulaila, has called for stricter enforcement against river pollution and greater community participation in environmental conservation, warning that Johor must not allow another environmental disaster like the 2019 Sungai Kim Kim incident. In a media statement on Tuesday, Nor Zulaila said the Sungai Kim Kim tragedy, which affected thousands of residents and forced the closure of schools, remained a painful reminder that effective enforcement is essential to protect public health and the environment. She said while Malaysia already has environmental laws, there should be no compromise in enforcing them consistently to prevent future pollution incidents. "As Tiram continues to experience rapid development and attract investment, economic growth must go hand in hand with environmental protection. Development is only meaningful if it safeguards the health, safety and quality of life of the people," she said. Nor Zulaila, who holds an academic background in environmental studies, said rivers should not be viewed merely as waterways but as the lifeblood of communities, reflecting how responsibly development and natural resources are managed. Drawing on more than 12 years of community service, she said environmental issues directly affect people's daily lives, including public health, livelihoods, water supply and public confidence in their local communities. To strengthen environmental stewardship, she proposed establishing Sahabat Sungai Tiram, a community-based initiative involving residents, youths, schools, non-governmental organisations and industry players to monitor rivers, organise regular clean-up programmes, conduct environmental education and provide a rapid reporting channel for pollution incidents. She also proposed expanding outdoor environmental education programmes to allow students to learn about local rivers, biodiversity, water quality and conservation efforts firsthand. According to Nor Zulaila, exposing children to environmental conservation from a young age would help cultivate a more responsible generation that values and protects natural resources. At the same time, she urged authorities to intensify enforcement against river pollution, stressing that compliant industries should continue to receive support while those found polluting rivers must face firm action without compromise. Nor Zulaila said she hoped Tiram would become known not only as a rapidly developing constituency but also as a model for sustainable and responsible development, where economic progress and environmental conservation advance together through effective governance, responsible planning and active community participation. -- MINUTESMY

YB Gobind Singh Urges Johor Voters to Reject Leaders Linked to 1MDB Scandal

LABIS, July 8 — Gobind Singh Deo has urged Johor voters to reject leaders associated with the 1MDB scandal, saying accountability must be upheld to protect the country's future. Speaking during a campaign event in Labis in support of Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Elia Nadira for the N.05 Tenang state seat, Gobind claimed that UMNO's primary objective in the Johor state election is to secure victory in an effort to free Najib Razak from prison. Gobind said Malaysia is still dealing with the long-term consequences of the 1MDB scandal and criticised UMNO for continuing to defend Najib despite his conviction. He argued that the court's judgment had outlined substantial financial losses suffered by the country, adding that future generations would continue to bear the impact of the scandal if those responsible were not held accountable. Gobind stressed that voters should reject any attempt to undermine the legal process and ensure that those linked to the 1MDB scandal remain accountable under the law. He also reaffirmed Pakatan Harapan's commitment to building a peaceful, prosperous and inclusive Malaysia, calling on Johor voters to support the coalition in the state election to safeguard the country's future. -- MINUTESMY
