IT HAS BEEN many times
whereby we get to read in the newspapers about dysfunctional road lights in
Sabah and especially in Kota Kinabalu. How could this still be happening?
Aren’t the relevant authorities more advance and better managed these days?
Jalan Penampang Lama is
still in darkness after the road lights had been all changed. This stretch of
road is still considered a main road for many users. There are Schools,
Churches, Kindergartens, Residential Houses etc…
Another complaint on street
light not on is at Tg. Aru flyover. The
relevant authorities will only turn on the road lights when there is a
complaint in regards to this matter mentioned.
The residents and road users
are furious and frustrated over this matter, and each time they have to put
their life at risk when using this stretch of road. Andrew Lee, Special
Assistant to Kota Kinabalu MP is just wondering why are the relevant
authorities (Majlis Daerah Penampang or DBKK) are not looking into this matter
seriously. It has been many times Sabah DAP made complaints and channels this
problem to the relevant authorities.
The road lights normally
will be good for a few weeks and will be back to total darkness repeatedly.
Residents and road users are fed up with this 'Tidak Apa' or ignorant attitude,
and why should the authorities put the people at big risk.
In the event that the
District Officer of the Penampang District Council and the KK Mayor failed to
carry out their duties towards the public, by all means, please 'RESIGN' and
allow other capable people to carry out the job effectively. There are only two
possibilities on why these road lights are not functioning is that the
authorities did not pay up electric bills to SESB or they are not doing their
job.
Andrew Lee demands for an
immediate action from these relevant authorities. There should be lights in
good condition at all times. The relevant authorities are reminded to be more
sensitive towards the public. (DAP Media)
