we were saddened to hear the loss of lives. We salute the great work and sacrifice our Chinese friends are doing for widening the KKH.

However, there is a dire need to take safety measures, both for the safety of the workers, as well as the villages around the blasting area, and the passengers that travel through. The NHA and the CRBC need to take care of safety of workers and the people.
