KOTA SAMARAHAN: Kota Samarahan must seek transformation in its increasingly congested landscape into safer, smarter and healthier environments, as it continues to experience rapid urbanisation.

Chief Minister Tan Sri Adenan Satem said the local council must plan early in its urban management to streamline traffic problems and solid waste management in light of the increasing population.
