RESIDENTS of Taman Bukit Minyak Utama are appealing to the Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) that the guard post that was removed by the council’s enforcement team be restored.

Tan Eng Lam, a representative of the residents, said the post at the entrance to the housing estate served as the base for the neighbourhood guards.
