The loudspeaker and CCTV attached to a pole. The Petaling Jaya City Council has installed 12 CCTV accompanied with loudspeakers in Section 52.

MCPF vice-chairman Datuk Seri Ayub Yaakob pointed out that billions of ringgit had been spent on CCTV installations without any regulation to ensure their effectiveness in combating crime and drug abuse.
