Cyclist's Death Spurs Immediate Road Repairs in Malaysia

A fatal accident involving a cyclist on Jalan Gunung Pulai, Kulai, has prompted swift action from the Malaysian Works Ministry. The ministry has directed the state government to immediately repair the damaged road surface at the accident location. According to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, the road exhibited "crocodile cracks," likely due to heavy vehicle traffic from the nearby Kulai area. The accident resulted in the death of a 42-year-old Singaporean cyclist who reportedly fell after hitting a pothole before being struck by a trailer. Minister Nanta Linggi expressed his deepest condolences to the victim's family and urged all parties involved in road maintenance and road users to work together to ensure safer roads. He also advised cyclists to avoid roads used by heavy vehicles and to always wear safety gear. The incident underscores the importance of road maintenance and cyclist safety in Malaysia.
