JUDGING from the frequent complaints from the public about road signs being plastered with illegal advertisements, it appears that the authorities are fighting a losing battle in the war against those putting up bills, banners and advertisements in various neighbourhoods in the Klang Valley.

Residents in many housing estates in the Klang Valley have complained that illegal adverts, stickers and banners are pasted everywhere on public property, to the extent of obscuring information on road signs, making it difficult for motorists to find their way around.
