Footpaths should be free of obstacles, user-friendly

Kerbs higher than 15cm in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, can be difficult for pedestrians to navigate.

Public infrastructure is an important task undertaken by local authorities.

Earlier this year, I saw Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) making an effort to maintain and upgrade footpaths along main roads to facilitate pedestrian movement and also for the benefit of residents who exercise.
