Free access to information vital


Open to all: In the case of exposed high-voltage wires at parks, it is important for local councils to make their data fully and freely available to the public.

WHEN Khairil Yusof found exposed electrical wiring at a lamp post in a playground in Subang Jaya, he realised how little information was actually available about the extent of the problem.

It worried him, especially since it is not a problem to be taken lightly – in 2011, ten-year-old Mohd Naqiuddin Marzuki was electrocuted when he accidentally touched an exposed high-voltage wire on a lamp post in a playground at Taman Baru Tiga in neighbouring Shah Alam.
