Once-popular field in state of neglect


The Astaka field in Petaling Jaya was last upgraded in 2014 and it costs the council RM800,000. The upgrade consisted of returfing and maintenance works. However the field has since deteriorated. There are patches of baldness on the field and this would cause skin abrasion said field users.

THE popular Astaka recreational field in Lorong Utara Kecil, Petaling Jaya, has become a spot where construction debris is dumped and open burning takes place.

Renovation waste is often dumped at the carpark facing the field and beside the river near the motorcycle lane of the Federal Highway.
