Rubbish Piling Up in Bangsar
As part of our Citizen Journalism training course, my coursemate Vighnes, Kuna and I stumbled upon a rubbish problem faced by the residents of Flat Sri Pahang in Bangsar. Vighnes and I decided to dig deeper to find the root of the problem and found that the rubbish were not picked up regularly.
We had contacted the previous contractor who was in charge of the clean up, and he said that part of the problem was due to irresponsible residents throwing huge items such as a mattress and a bicycle which clogged the rubbish chute.
Contractor vs residents?
The issue had been picked up by The Star and gained the attention of DBKL:
Sri Pahang Flats Clean Up, Nov 30th 2009
Let’s hope for the best for the residents of Sri Pahang and may this incident serves as a lesson to the residents to be more responsible in their actions, and for DBKL to be more efficient in contracting credible contractors to do the job.
Hey mate good stuff..you truly deserve it
keep up the good reporting work, girl!
Dear CJs,
Fantastic and keep up the good work.
good job…..be hardworking
I am amaze with the good work you have done. But some how I wonder how come your issue was published on 1st December 2009, but The Star already published the issue solved on 30th November 2009 ? So the credit should go to who ? aha…
Hi kbguy, thanks for the comment!
The issue was first highlighted by my mate Vighnes and I on cj.my on 27th October 2009. See here: http://cj.my/video/17979/rubbish-piling-up-in-bangsar-residential-area.html
We assume that The Star picked the story up from our initial reporting…my blog entry was merely announcing that The Star picked up the story.
Cheers
the implementation of built in rubbish chute on most low cost flats was the MOST STUPID and IMPRACTICAL one~!!!
I got one here~!!! don’t they realize how much suffocating stench it may caused? How bizarre it will be when the door of rubbish chute got broken off by those S holes who love dumping heavy junks and bottles from above floors for years?!!!
When the rubbish chute door got smashed open ….geeee …those rats, roaches, stench, ants, germs, mosquitoes ..will all break loose like hell~!!!
So who the hell came out with the idea of built in rubbish chute anyway???!!!
