Drains silted up and choked with rubbish

Ho showing the silt and wild grass that block the flow of water in the monsoon drain at the end of Jalan 10/3 in Section 10, Petaling Jaya.

DESILTING and removing rubbish from drains to ensure run-off water flows without stagnating is one of the basic task for private contractors hired by the local council.

Yet, cleanliness of drains is a major problem everywhere and this is because of shoddy work.
