Post-landslide road restrictions burden villagers


BALIK PULAU: Vehicle weight and size restrictions imposed on Jalan Teluk Bahang here following recent landslides have made life miserable for many villagers, with some traders having to make repeated trips using two-wheelers, or use very long diversions.

For example, fish trader Azmer Saad now makes about 10 motorcycle trips daily to deliver fish to Batu Ferringhi from Pulau Betong here, when a single trip using a three-tonne lorry would have done the job previously.
