MERADONG: The RM4 million upgrading project for Bintangor Recreational Park is seen as a catalyst for improving the quality of life of the local community through the provision of more comfortable, safer and user-friendly public facilities.

Meradong Assemblyman, Datuk Ding Kuong Hiing, said the implementation of the project under the Rajang Delta Development Agency (RADDA) also plays a role in enhancing the appearance of Bintangor town while having the potential to attract more visitors.

He said this during a working visit to review the progress of the project for the second time following the project site handover ceremony on January 5.

According to him, the visit was intended to ensure that the implementation of the project proceeds smoothly in line with the plan, as well as to personally assess the progress of the upgrading works currently being carried out.

During the visit, he inspected several key components of the project, including the public toilet facilities which have been upgraded to improve visitors’ comfort.

In addition, improvement works on the park’s main road circuit are also being carried out to ensure user safety, particularly for recreational activities such as walking and jogging.

Also drawing attention is the construction of new structures such as the Red Bridge, which is expected to become an iconic attraction of the park, as well as the construction of a stage in the middle of the park to support various community activities and social programmes.

At the same time, the development of a children’s playground is underway as part of efforts to provide more family-friendly recreational facilities.

Datuk Ding stressed that the project is among the important initiatives to strengthen public facilities in rural areas, while at the same time providing long-term benefits to the community.

He also expressed hope that all parties involved will ensure the project is completed on schedule while maintaining a high standard of workmanship. -UKASnews
