‘Planter boxes on walkway a bane’

DBKL has placed planter boxes on the pedestrian walkway along Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, to make space for eateries to place tables and chairs.

THE sight of planter boxes in front of eateries along Jalan Bukit Bintang’s pedestrian walkway to allow space for outdoor seating has upset some members of the public.

They say the move by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), whom they had hoped would order the premises to remove any and all obstructions on the walkway, had set a bad precedent.
