KUALA Lumpur mayor Datuk Nor Hisham Ahmad Dahlan is dissatisfied with the delayed response by security personnel to distress signals from panic button systems at the Taman Pudu Ulu Recreation Park. He was there to inspect ongoing work for a children’s wading pool and decided to test one of the five panic buttons installed within the grounds of the 26ha park.

As the siren wailed, he timed the arrival of the security guard on his watch.
