The scenario at the Jalan Tugu roundabout at Kg Air, Kota Kinabalu.
KOTA KINABALU: The business community at Kg Air here has raisedconcern over the chaos at the roundabout at Jalan Tugu, which causes accidents periodically.
Businessman Mark Fang said the shop-owners, hoteliers and coffee shop operators in the area want the roundabout to be closed when he brought the matter to the attention of incumbent Api-Api Assemblywoman Datuk Christina Liew during her walkabout on Wednesday.
According to him, collisions have occasionally occurred at the spot as motorists try to overtake one another while using the roundabout.
“For safety reasons, I will raise the matter with Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK) to consider doing away with the roundabout,” said Liew who is also the caretaker Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment.
