IPOH: Potholes in the city will be fixed within 24 hours of a report made, says Ipoh mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin.
Rumaizi said once the Ipoh City Council receives a complaint about a pothole, it would be solved as soon as possible.
“I have told my officers to get it (patching the potholes) done within 24 hours after receiving the complaints.
“Although we have received allocation from the Malaysian Road Records Information System (Marris) to fix the potholes, we have made a decision to allocate our own budget for the problem, ” he told reporters after attending the tree-planting ceremony at Taman Rishah Indah here on Saturday (Jan 9).

PETALING JAYA: The Works Ministry has given its commitment to fix potholes on federal roads within 24 hours of receiving a complaint, as the issue of road maintenance in Malaysia continues to be parodied.
The ministry said that under the Zeropothole Campaign, the patching of potholes or temporary repairs for federal roads will be conducted within 24 hours, while permanent repairs will be done in three days as per the “Federal Road Maintenance” contract.
In a statement yesterday, it said the campaign that was introduced from 2016 to 2018 was reintroduced in July as an initiative of the ministry with the Public Works Department (JKR) and six concessionaires for federal road maintenance.
