Motorists using the East-West Highway after dark have to be especially careful as there are no streetlights along the road.
THE East-West Highway (JRTB), a visionary project, initiated by Malaysia’s first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, has stood the test of time since its completion in 1982.
Spanning the rugged terrain between Gerik in Perak and Jeli in Kelantan, the highway was a landmark achievement for the Public Works Department (JKR), which overcame significant engineering challenges to build it in-house.
