SUNGAI SIPUT WATERFRONT - water hyacinth

With reference to my blog dated 25.8.2011 title - Water Lily in Sungai Siput Water Front refers.

The Water Hyacinth which almost covered the whole pond has been clear recently. It looks nice now but unfortunately the 'burung ayam-ayam' could not be seen! There are people fishing but was told that it is lesser. The reason being the small fishes are not threw back to the pond! 

CONSTRUCTION WASTE

The defective double storey houses in Taman Lintang Makmur has been repaired recently. These houses had the biggest build-up area (22' x 90') and cost more than RM350,000. As a responsible developer, the defective houses has been repaired, however, sources said it takes about 2 years for the decision. Whatever is it, the developer is not civil minded! All the construction waste just left at the side of the main road and the clogged drain is not clear till today! 

 

Construction waste left it by the road side. No action taken by MPKK!

 Clogged drain - bakau wood use for repairing the defective house not clear. No action by MPKK!
