EVERY road vehicle user in Malaysia has experienced delays in travel as councils patch up numerous potholes in our road networks. It does not matter whether it is in a rich area or within a low-income community, the problem of potholes is common. Apparently, our northern neighbour has less of a pothole problem. I saw this myself during a recent trip to southern Thailand. Why is this? The answer lies in the use of rubber in road construction. Yes, you read that right.
dude, the technology to include rubber has been emplaced by JKR near 30 years ago - yeah JKR was still the de facto road layer then. what happened after that? - money making outsourcing
Do it then, that should give our local rubber industry a much needed boost.
