Datuk Ramlee Bohani, the Barisan Nasional candidate for the Kempas state seat, has pledged to tackle persistent issues of flash floods and traffic congestion plaguing the constituency. He emphasized his commitment to ensuring the welfare of residents and the continued development of Kempas under the leadership of Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
Bohani stated that his preparation for the election goes beyond the campaign period, stemming from his first day as a representative. He highlighted the RM30 million allocated for Kempas's development and welfare during his tenure, with a significant RM21.2 million specifically earmarked for renovating PPR Kempas to improve living conditions. Additional funds have supported school upgrades, road repairs, Islamic propagation, aid for non-Muslim places of worship, and community programs.
"For me, a track record of service, being present with the people, and resolving local issues are the most important preparations for continuing to gain the community's trust," Bohani said. He identified flash floods, particularly in areas like Taman Sri Putra, and illegal dumping and open burning in the Banjaran Kempas area as major concerns due to their environmental and health impacts.
Traffic congestion, especially along the route known as "Highway Tengkorak," is another frequent complaint. Bohani revealed discussions with the Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) to find solutions, including widening the road to improve traffic flow and safety. He also noted that some government-owned land remains underutilized, suggesting potential for further development.
