Some roads in Malaysia are notoriously known to be filled with potholes which endangers road users and expose them to the risk of an accident.

This is why it is important for the relevant authorities to quickly get it fixed. However, we all know that it often takes time and at times it is not even done properly.

Recently, in a post that has since been deleted by the Public Works Department (JKR), images of an officer fixing a pothole in Hala Pasir Gudang, Perling, Johor were shared. The images were reshared by the Facebook page Kelab Info Malaysia.

The caption on the original post says, “Congratulations! This is the work that we want,” along with the hashtag #jasakepadarakyat (service to the people).

 

“Did you fix it with your feet?!”

Although it seemed like a relatively standard post, it went viral as Malaysian road users had a lot to say about the picture and how the officer had ‘fixed’ the pothole.

Some netizens actually pondered on the necessity for the action to be recognised and praised since it is in the nature of JKR’s duty to fix the pothole. Meanwhile, others took the time to criticise the outcome of the ‘fixed’ pothole.

“Did you fix it with your feet? I’m just asking.”

“Such outcome but the audacity for the #jasakepadarakyat,” said another user.

A few other netizens also questioned JKR on how long they think that the ‘fix’ will last.

A user commented that the damage will return by the next day.

One user took the time to explain how the pothole could’ve been done better.

“That’s it? Did JKR even observe?”

“Please upgrade your patching. Ask from the right sources if you don’t know. It’s not just about pouring the tar and compacting it like that,” added the user.

While we are certainly thankful that JKR used their time to fix the pothole, do you think that the outcome will last long?
