Apart from that, RM100 million has been allocated to maintain street lights, including replacing them with LED lights that can save up to 60% of electricity. 

“Another RM50 million has been allocated for the same purpose in all local authorities throughout the country.

“RM50 million has also been allocated to improve high-accident areas, including upgrading existing traffic lights to smart traffic lights on federal roads to help ease traffic congestion,” he said when tabling the spending plan today. – October 13, 2023.
