- The eBencana JKR app now includes disaster monitoring data from the BiGBen centre for affected roads.
- BiGBen tracks incidents such as floods, landslides, and bridge damages on federal and state roads.
- Monitoring frequency increases with severity, ranging from twice daily to six times a day for critical states.
- Approval for the West Coast Expressway project from Banting to Gelang Patah is currently underway.
"If the situation is still green, meaning incidents occurred but are not severe. Monitoring will take place from 8am to 5pm, with reports twice a day. However, if conditions worsen, it becomes yellow, with stricter monitoring, and if it is very severe, affecting multiple states, then it’s red, with 24-hour monitoring, with reports six times a day," he said.— Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi explained the monitoring levels for BiGBen's disaster monitoring system integrated into the eBencana JKR app.
