AN SOS call by concerned parents of several schools in Sentul saw five candidates contesting for the Batu parliamentary seat for the 15th General Election (GE15) turn up in an effort to offer solutions to traffic and safety issues.

The parents of SJKT St Joseph Sentul wanted the Batu hopefuls to witness the worsening traffic along Jalan Sentul, which was also affecting the safety of their children.
