KL folk want playgrounds and facilities cleaned up

Months of neglect: A playground in Taman Sri Lempah off Jalan Kelang Lama is among many public recreational facilities under the purview of Kuala Lumpur City Hall that urgently needs sprucing up.

WITH facilities like the zoo, theme parks and entertainment centres still closed until Oct 1 under Phase Two of the National Recovery Plan (NRP), Kuala Lumpur residents want the authorities to clean up some of the city’s playgrounds and parks for their children to play in a safe environment.

At some of the neighbourhood playgrounds in Cheras, Jalan Kelang Lama, Brickfields and Lembah Pantai, the grass has not been cut for months and shrubs and other vegetation have taken over the field.
