And you think you are having a bad day?


Arrow points from a similar hole just less than 3 metres away.

I spotted this car beside the Affin Bank outlet at the newly opened office blocks opposite Pizza Hut near Carrefour in Wangsa Maju.

The driver must have been so busy trying to park the car and did not notice the 'lobang' in the roadside and one of the wheels got stuck in it.

No one was around when this picture was taken, so help could not be given. The hole is due to a missing drain cover by the road side, just like the one you see inset which is actually less than 3metres infront of where this car came to grief.

I am amazed how drain covers made of concrete can go missing if not for vandalism. Some naught persons must have driven a typically heavy vehicle over it and broke the concrete slab. Otherwise, why should someone steal it?

One question is nagging hard. How is it that the developer's maintenance office did not quickly replace the lost cover? Does he want to wait for someone to fall in and lose their life? Doesn't City Hall upkeep the place considering assessment is paid to DBKL?
