Streetlights on automatic timer, say local councils

Streetlights in some parts of MPSJ’s jurisdiction are not functioning during the MCO, leading to public complaints.

SUBANG Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) has denied claims that they are dimming streetlights during the movement control order (MCO), ostensibly as a cost-saving measure.

An MPSJ spokesman, in responding to complaints from the public about non-functioning streetlights, explained that the lights were on an automatic timer.
