Kota Kinabalu: Speedy repairs on Jalan Bukit Bendera Upper at Signal Hill has left some wondering  whether it is because a politician noted for his colourful expressions when enraged, including use of four letter words, happens to be the new Sabah Works Minister.

A break from the past when those responsible for carrying out road repairs seemed indifferent and not fearful of being scolded.

Daily Express published a report on the need to quickly repair Signal Hill Road after members of the public were impressed with how fast Datuk Bung Moktar Radin (pic) got a collapsed bridge in Kota Belud reinstalled and reopened to traffic. They wanted him to do the same.
