High cost of vandalism

Guard rails are missing some metal bars as they have been taken by drug addicts to sell to the scrap yard.

In the last two-and-a-half years, Klang Municipal Council (MPK) has spent almost RM1mil on fixing vandalised public amenities — money that could have been better spent on improving services.

Damaged feeder pillar boxes, stolen metal poles for road signs, missing drain gratings and graffiti were some of the issues that the council needed to address from 2018 to June 2020.
