Pada 21 dan 22 Oktober 2019, LGM telah menerima kunjungan daripada delegasi Kementerian Pembangunan Luar Bandar Sabah yang diketuai oleh YB Datuk Ewon Benedick. Delegasi seramai 19 orang ini juga turut disertai oleh YB Datuk Junz Wong, Menteri Pertanian dan Industri Makanan Sabah serta wakil dari jabatan-jabatan lain yang berkaitan seperti Kementerian Pembangunan Infrastruktur Sabah, Jabatan Kerja Raya Sabah, Unit Perancangan Ekonomi Negeri Sabah, Lembaga Industri Getah Sabah, Pejabat Daerah Kota Belud serta Unit Pemimpin Pembangunan Masyarakat Kadamaian.

Lawatan ini antara lain bertujuan untuk mendapatkan perkongsian maklumat terperinci berkenaan penggunaan dan pelaksanaan teknologi rubberised road di Semenanjung Malaysia sebagai persiapan dalam meneroka projek perintis menggunakan teknologi ini di Sabah kelak. Sehubungan dengan itu, delegasi telah diberikan pendedahan dan penerangan yang berkaitan oleh penyelidik-penyelidik LGM sebelum dibawa melawat ke kilang RICS Sdn Bhd, Asphalt Technology Sdn Bhd serta tapak projek rubberised road di Puchong bagi mendapatkan pemahaman berkenaan proses pembuatan bitumen getah beku terubahsuai (CMB) serta melihat sendiri contoh jalan raya bitumen getah sedia ada. CMB merupakan bahan yang berdaya maju untuk meningkatkan prestasi dan ketahanan jalan dengan menurunkan kos penyelenggaraan jangka panjang selain mengurangkan bunyi bising dan meningkatkan keselesaan pengguna jalan raya. Adalah diharapkan agar lawatan ini nanti akan menjadi titik tolak bermulanya penggunaan teknologi rubberised road di Sabah dan sekaligus meningkatkan lagi penggunaan getah asli di pasaran.

On 23rd and 24th November 2017, a technical visit on rubberised road was held by a Philippine delegation to the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB). The delegation was headed by Dr. Sitti Amina M. Jain from the Department of Trade and Industry as the National Rubber Industry Cluster Coordinator, Philippines. Also in this technical mission were officers and researchers from various related backgrounds such as the Department of Public Works & Highways, Construction Industry Authority, Department of Science and Technology and the Mindanao Development Authority.

The main purpose of the visit is to see the development and effectiveness of rubberised road technology developed by the MRB. This technical visit is a continuation of the technical mission of MRB with the Ministry of Plantation and Commodity Industries (MPIC) to the Philippines before, in which the Philippine government was keen to know more about this technology.

Through this visit, delegates had the opportunity to visit the Rubberrised Road Laboratory in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, which they were given a comprehensive explanation of this innovation. In addition, they also visited Asphalt Technologies Sdn Bhd and RICS Sdn Bhd, collaborative partners of MRB in developing this innovation.
