WIRELESS panic buttons have been installed at the Taman Pudu Ulu Recreation Park in Kuala Lumpur as a measure to combat crime and protect visitors.

Initiated by the Friends of The Pudu Ulu Park Association (FTPUPA), and installed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the panic button will alert security personnel to initiate an immediate response in the event something untoward happens.
