KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s engineering feat – the Bagan Datuk Bridge – won second place in the community road category of the Mino Best Project Award at the 17th Road Engineering Association of Asia and Australasia (REAAA) Conference.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi (pic, below) said the road project, under his ministry’s supervision, connects two major districts in Perak with a mere 10km route that takes only seven minutes to travel, a vast improvement compared to the previous 67km journey that would take an hour.
