To support the prevention program, her side will propose to increase the number of the crane trucks next year. "We will propose the small crane cars to facilitate us operating in citizen's settlement and not disturb the road user," she continued.
She added, her side has trimmed around 150 trees of angsana, glodogan, tamarind, banyan, and tanjung.
