This hydrant in Taman Indah, Cheras, is barely noticeable as the paint has faded and it is blocked by other objects. Under the Service Act and Regulations 1988, it is an offence to cover up, enclose or conceal any fire hydrant or to use it for any reason other than fire-fighting purposes.
MOST of the fire hydrants in Taman Indah and Pekan Batu 11 in Cheras are dysfunctional.
Balakong assemblyman Eddie Ng said residents were concerned over the issue in the areas, especially in Jalan Indah 1/6, Jalan Indah 1/7 and Jalan Besar Kampung Baru Sebelas, Cheras.
