| Roads leading into Bukit OUG in deplorable condition Posted: 23 Nov 2011 04:02 AM PST I AM writing this complaint with regards to the horrible condition of the roads in Jalan Puchong, and particularly, the whole stretch of the road leading into Bukit OUG where some major developments seem to be taking place. However, the concerned parties have, for some reason, seriously disregarded the damage caused to these roads. Extremely large potholes clearly visible to the road users are just left unrepaired, possibly waiting for a serious road mishap to take place. This is further worsened when those potholes are covered with water during rain, thus making them 'invisible'. How can the relevant parties leave the roads that are used by hundreds of vehicles daily unrepaired and in such deplorable condition from the damage caused by heavy vehicles such as lorries, tractors and cement mixers. The conditions are further made worse by the recent rainy weather in Kuala Lumpur. Hundreds of road users such as myself have to continuously navigate our vehicles around those innumerable gigantic potholes every day, causing unnecessary wear and tear to our vehicles. Cars require continuous wheel alignment and balancing that will not even last a couple of days through these bumps and potholes. We don't have much of a choice as those roads are the only access roads in and out for us. The overall condition of the roads in OUG (for example Jalan Awan Jawa, Jalan Awan Dandan) is also seriously unacceptable to taxpayers such as myself and the hundreds of Malaysians that use those roads. It's like navigating your car on the 'moon's surface'. The relevant authorities and the responsible parties should start looking into this fast, especially with regards to the road in front of the Bukit OUG Condominiums and not to mention the main road Jalan Puchong itself. The local authorities should ensure that developers comply with the necessary development guidelines. Severely Irritated Road User |
