There is still a lot of work to be done to improve the transport infrastructure in the city. In particular, the roads in the town need closer maintenance. Very often, potholes (some big ones) are found on the roads. Drains need to be maintained too so that the roads don't get flooded whenever it rains.
Jalan Wadi Hana is a road that is in serious need of attention. Walkways have been constructed on both sides of the road. This has blocked the drainage there. Whenever it rains, the road itself becomes a water course. The road proper is full of potholes and has not been paved at the sides near the walkways.
Jalan Wakaf has become a construction waste dumping site. All sorts of unwanted material is dumped there. This has attracted scavengers who set fire to burn off rubber coatings so as to salvage scrap metal. The burning rubber gives out a foul ordour and the smoke from the fire is polluting the air.
The drain in Jalan Sipi has collapsed near the sump as a result of erosion and underscouring. Some maintenance work is urgently needed now.
