PUTRAJAYA, June 12- Acting Transport Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein will inspect motorcycle lanes alleged to be poorly maintained and unsafe for road users.
“I will check out the condition of motorcyle lanes to ensure it is not exaggerated by irresponsible parties. I have talked with Datuk Fadillah Yusof (Works Minister) and will make a visit next week,” he told a press conference after the Ministry of Transport monthly assembly here today.
He urged the public to give feedback on motorcycle lanes and roads that should be upgraded and repaired to ensure the safety of road users.
