| Flood-prone stalls in Petaling Jaya Posted: 13 Oct 2011 04:33 AM PDT TWO stalls in Jalan Railway 1/2, Section 1, Petaling Jaya, are prone to floods during heavy rain because of a damaged and clogged drain. Lot 1 and 2 tenant John Chandran Pereira said four complaints had been made to the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) but no action had been taken. "The drain near the stalls are clogged and covered with undergrowth. The stalls are also lower than the drain level and I have built a brick barrier to prevent the water from flowing into the premises. "The undergrowth on the land next the my stall is becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes and customers do not want to come to my stall. "Rubbish is also dumped here. I have installed a fan to keep the mosquitoes away at night. I have also caught three snakes so far. "The roof leaks during rain and is damaging my electrical appliances," he said, adding that he also had to fix the tap himself after his complaint went unattended. Pereira said he had informed a MBPJ officer on the damage to the two stalls even before applying for a licence. "The officer assured me that the repairs will be done before issuing my licence but only the electricity supply was connected. Pereira's stall, which is located in a quiet corner, has also become a target for burglars. "The burglars have broken into my stall twice and carted away the refrigerator, oven, bottled drinks, cigarettes and other utensils. "There is a gap on top of the grille big enough for a person to squeeze through. "MBPJ should take responsibility and do something about my complaints," he said. MBPJ public relations officer Zainun Zakaria said they were getting contractors to repair the drain and had instructed Alam Flora to collect the rubbish in the area. "However, tenants should take responsibility of the rubbish found in their premises," she said. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
