PUTATAN, MOSQUITO BREEDING GROUND




A RECENT visit, which happens to be a second visit by the members of DAP Kepayan Barat, Andrew Lee to Taman Jumbo, Petagas, is a very disappointing one. The complaints were forwarded and filed to the council personally a month ago.

The various complaints are in regards to the missing road signs, clogged drains, inconsistent collection of rubbish etc. However, there is no action taken by Majlis Daerah Putatan. At the site, Andrew found not one, but 12 mosquito breeding grounds surrounding Taman Jumbo alone. What about other areas which is not seen?

This area has very serious foul drainage problems, which has been going on for many years. It doesn’t stop there, and many road signs went missing or dangling from the pole for almost two years now.

This is apparent that the respective enforcement does not have a system of weekly or monthly site inspection and recording problems faced by the public in these areas. Most of the drains have been clogged up for quite some time and produces foul smell to the residents near by.

DAP Kepayan Barat hopes that Majlis Daerah Putatan will follow up on these matters and take quick action to clear all the drains, road signs, and speed up the clearing of rubbish.
