Brickfields folk question safety of decade-old bridges

A MEETING between Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) Project Implementation Department and stakeholders from Brickfields to discuss the viability of an underutilised foot bridge on Jalan Tun Sambanthan revealed that the structure was never handed over to DBKL.

Concerns were raised as to whether that bridge as well as others in the area were certified by Occupational Safety and Health Department (DOSH), but DBKL officers at the meeting were unable to confirm this as the projects were done 10 years ago.
