Faulty street lights in Kota Iskandar, with one side of the road all lit up while the ones on the right not functioning. Many streetlights in Johor Baru are in need of urgent repairs. – THOMAS YONG/The Star

RECENTLY during a drive from my house in Desa Tebrau to Johor Baru city, which is about 16km away along Jalan Tebrau, my eight-year-old son asked an interesting question.

“Papa, do you know that between our house and your office, more than 20 streetlights are not working? Why have they not been fixed?” he asked.
