Billboards Everywhere
The billboard problem has long existed PJ. Nobody in authority has done a thing to curb it. To think with all that public complaint about it, at least some smart ass people in charge should do something about it, but no, all are clinging to the "tak apa" attitude. Why is that? Is someone in charge profiteering for "closing an eye"?
And finally when the Sultan of Selangor knows about it, with just a statement, sets order into place. If things are managed in this way in Malaysia, wouldnt it be better if we all just complaint to the Sultan? Problems admittedly do get looked into faster and maybe solved faster. Might as well let the Sultan own all the newspaper, at least that way His Majesty will know the complaint of fellow citizen.
While the new Petaling Jaya Mayor Datuk Ahmad Termizi Puteh just got to warm his seat, problems are arising. In line with the recent "showing skeleton to the public" campaign, comes the allegation that whoever wants to put up a billboard, thy has to part with a handsome donation of RM10,000 to MBPJ Football Club. This is said need to be done in show of "good will" before applying for advertisment billboard for approval. You can also say this is in line with the "Build first, apply later" concept taken from the real estate developers. If allegation may be true or may be not, but since the allegations did come out, at least some investigation should be done. The statement quoted from TheStar, " The MBPJ has reportedly said that the MBPJ Football Club accounts were not for public scrutiny as the club was a separate entity and there was no need for residents to check" just make it sound more fishy.
On another report, city council of Ipoh, Cyberjaya and Putrajaya state that all illegal billboards are taken down. Now why cant MBPJ learn from them? Anyone taking any "under the table money"? Resident in Penang however complaint that they faced a similir senario as PJ, wild billboards sprouting everywhere.
Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khir Toyo states that it was too costly to take them down, well, how did it get up there the first place? I am suggesting a solution for you, seize the billboards and fined the company advertising on it. They should borne the cost of taking it down. If they say it is not their fault, then ask them to sue the contractor/agent who put them up.
Less Talk, More Action.
