Hi K,

There are these bunch of street lights near my residence which goes faulty at least once every month.

I've to call this MPSJ every month and usually after 3 or 4 calls, they'll get the lights fixed. After 3 or 4 bloody calls.

I've told them that the lights are failing every month and there's something more to this regular repair that they're doing which is just a temporary solution and I'm sick and tired of calling them every month.
Secondly it's super dark and is inviting for crimes and robbery.

When they send me the yearly assessment tax, they've set a deadline after which I've to pay some additional fee.

Now as a tax payer, is there any way that I can demand these people to fix the street lights after my first call and within a few days period, failing which I can take some action against them? I'd like to know my rights and how can I enforce them.

They seem to be least worried about my calls and I'm wondering if there are any higher authorities that I can approach.

Secondly, if at all some unwanted incident happens to me or my car during this period, can I sue them?

Appreciate your advises!

I one time kena accident coz my side green light and opposite U turn light also green...So my bike bang the car make u turn..Thinking wanna summon them but donno how...Police say the traffic light fault....Silaka

just called them up today and reported.. like any other month..

Bukan report to TNB meh?

lights not working.
road berlubang.
Malaysia oh tanahairku.

Maybe the lights are programmed to fail frequently... must have high tech component. repeat and rinse tendering for new streetlamps for lucky kronies.

try email them

The response is slow because the caller is slow.

Streetlights are under TNB responsibility. There are signs and TNB number to call on the light posts.

call BN ppl and media to make hoo haa

Have you ever reported on faulty street lights at first place?

Not ALL street lights are under TNB.

Some are under the municipal council. There are ways to differentiate.

My first point of contact was TNB, a year ago when I first moved to this place and encountered this problem. After clarifications, found that it is not under TNB and they informed me to call the municipal.

Then onwards, the story begins...
