THE LEANING POLE OF JALAN KHIDMAT





ROBERT RAJA J, Assistant to KK MP Hiew King Cheu make a visit to Jalan Khidmat near Bukit Padang area shows an electric pole leaning against the cable with its metal pole being ‘eaten up’ by rust which caused the pole to fall and lean against cable.

This will cause problem to road users plying the main road as the pole is located within few feet from that road and the danger it poses to pedestrian using that road as well. The rustiness of the pole indicates that it has been quite some time the pole felt and lean against the cable.

What has the local authority done about it and why has no action been taken to rectify the problem of pole(s) become rusty not only in that area but also in other places that most probably been ‘overlook’ by the local authority, he said.   Do they want some ‘untoward incident’ to happen than only action will be taken?

The local authority should ‘turun padang’ and check on all the poles under their jurisdiction to make sure that the pole(s) do not being ‘eaten up’ by rust and any pole(s) that poses danger to the public must be replace immediately.
