The Member of Parliament (MP) for Kepong, Lim Lip Eng, has called on the Selangor authorities to take action over a wrecked car that has been left abandoned beneath a flyover.
In a Facebook post, Lim questioned both the Selangor authorities and the Public Works Department (JKR) over the delay in removing the vehicle.
Traffic congestion and safety hazard
Lim also said that despite his office repeatedly lodging complaints with JKR and the relevant authorities, no action had been taken.
According to him, the car, which caught fire beneath the Taman Bukit Maluri flyover, has been left abandoned there for a week.
He added that the abandoned vehicle has caused traffic congestion, particularly during peak hours.
“My office has repeatedly lodged complaints with JKR and the Selangor authorities, but no action has been taken. Can’t they even remove an abandoned wrecked car? Speechless!” he wrote.
Public backlash online
The issue has sparked a strong reaction from netizens, with many criticising the bureaucratic delays and safety risks involved.
“This is a border area, so responsibility just gets passed back and forth. The government should have a clear policy for promptly removing abandoned vehicles involved in fires or accidents instead of leaving them unattended.”
“Yesterday, I drove through the area and nearly got into an accident because it was dark at night. It’s mindless to leave that car abandoned there for so long.”
