The Sibu Bus Terminal

The Sibu Bus Terminal     3/10/2013

On behalf of the landlords, tenants,  those who frequent the place and road users whoever they are,  I plead Sibu Municipal Council to take immediate action to deal with the road conditions at the Sibu Bus Terminal.

It was so said that they did not study the place enough and so we face the problem of sinking road all the time.   Well……………….the shophouses there are still standing straight and tall after 10 years in operation.  Why?  

Based on my common sense and observation, I can conclude one thing:  the developer did not do what should be done like the so said developer did to the place like Medal Mall to build the hard platform all over the place knowing that the land is ‘soft’ / too peaty there.   

The first commercial centre with the platform is Fortune Commercial Centre.  I always think that developer is really smart and bright. 

Saying that they had not done the assessment of the land pre-construction is not a good excuse to convince the people here and there in Sibu.   In my eye(s),  it has something to do with the responsibility of the developer and SMC.  

The developer should have known the facts of the land only too well to deny the need for special treatment of the land to prevent the problem of sinking to take place.   They should have piled in enough concrete poles like how they built the shophouses.  They did not do it. 

Besides, SMC did not guard it on our behalf to refuse Occupational Permits for not getting the work done as it should be that I believe with the clear knowledge of the Developer and SMC that the roads would sink as soon.  

Now we face the problems of sinking roads here and there.    Here I would like to plead SMC to treat the roads as they treat Upper Lanang Road laying the hard platform for good.   Please start with the road leading to the Sibu Bus Terminal platform first.  This road needs urgent attention because there is a wide gap of height of at least 1 and a half feet to 2 feet between the bus terminal platform and that particular road leading to it.   It is dangerous for the passengers just in case if the bus fails to make a good pull up to the platform.
