TEBEDU, Oct 31: A total of 325 LED streetlights have been installed along the Tebakang-Mongkos Road under a RM2.16 million project, improving visibility and providing safer journeys for motorists and residents along the stretch from Simpang Kampung Mayang Kawan to Kampung Muara Mongkos.

Sarawak Deputy Minister of Food Industry, Commodity and Regional Development Datuk Martin Ben said the project was part of ongoing efforts to strengthen basic infrastructure in rural areas and provide a safer travelling environment for local communities.

“The installation of streetlights will continue in stages along major roads within the Kedup constituency to ensure more areas benefit from this infrastructure,” he said during the symbolic launch of the streetlighting project yesterday (Oct 30).
