ONE morning, resident K.C. Lee from Happy Garden in Jalan Kelang Lama, Kuala Lumpur, woke up to the presence of a newly erected lamp post on the main road of Jalan Gembira.

While he did not have any issues with the lamp post itself, Lee was annoyed that it came attached with a telecommunication signal transmitter and was facing his condo unit located several hundred metres away.
