CYBERJAYA, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- The MYJalan application, previously known as a public complaints channel for road damages, will be expanded into a comprehensive national database for road infrastructure management across Malaysia.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said this move comes in response to the current key challenge in road management, which is the lack of standardised and holistic data.
“It (expansion) is aimed at building an important national database for infrastructure development, enabling us to better coordinate road maintenance nationwide. Beyond that, it allows us to act more accurately and efficiently.
“With structured and comprehensive data, only then can we plan how to ensure that roads, regardless of which agency they fall under, are safe and comfortable for all road users,” he told reporters after attending the MYJalan 2025 Programme Road Data Seminar and Engagement Session here today.
The session brought together various stakeholders, including federal ministries and agencies, state agencies in Sabah and Sarawak, State Secretary Offices, Land and Mines Offices, local authorities and concession companies to strengthen the reform agenda for national road data management.
Nanta said the dialogue received positive feedback from all state governments and local authority representatives present, and additional engagement sessions will be held to refine the system’s implementation before it is presented to the Cabinet at the end of 2025.
Launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Aug 24, 2023, the MYJalan programme has been recognised as a key MADANI Government initiative to ensure safer, more systematic and inclusive road management.
Meanwhile, according to the Works Ministry, a total of 40,938 road-related complaints were received under the MYJalan programme as of July 31, with 30.4 per cent involving Federal roads, while the remaining 69.6 per cent were related to state-administered and other roads.
