It is a sacrifice a planter has to face. They can not always bring their family in the estate especially in the new development area due to lack of proper housing facilities. For those who have schooling children, they have to leave their family in town where learning is more conducive. So the quality time with family is during weekend only. That is why every weekend most of planters rush to town to see their family. Some miss-judge the condition of the road thus involved in accident.Sapi-Nangoh highway is rather new and good. From what I see most people usually traveling at the speed of 120-140 kmph. Keep in mind, when you see the signboard above indicating Kg Basai 25km at the Labuk River bridge reduce the speed to 60kmph because there is a sharp bend where accident frequently happen.
On the same highway, one should be careful because it is a habit for some lorry driver parking their lorry on the highway like what shown above.Another dangerous area in Sandakan-Telupid highway just after Tanah Emas Plantation Office junction. The warning signboard was erected by authority (see the picture below) but motorist sometimes forget. I have seen accidents in this road section several time and involving up to seven cars at a time.
