IPOH – Ipoh City Council (MBI) and Telekom Malaysia (TM) have taken follow-up action to address cleanliness issues and the safety of telecommunications infrastructure in the Khantan Baru area.
MBI Councillor, Dato’ Mazlan Abd Rahman, said the action followed complaints and concerns he had raised during a previous inspection of the area.
He said the inspection found a telecommunications pole leaning dangerously and in an alarming condition, potentially posing a safety risk to local residents.
“We also identified the problem of indiscriminate rubbish dumping, which has affected the cleanliness and overall appearance of the surrounding area.
“Therefore, I requested MBI’s Urbanisation Division to carry out cleaning works, while Telekom Malaysia was asked to repair the damaged telecommunications pole,” he said.
He said both parties had extended their cooperation and taken the necessary action to address the issues.
He also expressed his appreciation to MBI and Telekom Malaysia for their concern and commitment to ensuring the safety and comfort of the local community.
He added that the prompt response to the complaints highlighted the importance of inter-agency cooperation in addressing public infrastructure issues and improving community well-being.
