Surprises in MBPJ budget, [i am surprised too]

Dato,
I wish to quote from Star Metro Surprises in MBPJ budget, in which you said, " The highlights include a RM100,000 allocation for installing and maintaining energy-saving lights at the back of houses to brighten dark lanes — provided the house owners agree to pay the electricity charges  "

I must admit I am a little confused by your statement. Sometime back, MBPJ has installed SOLAR powered street lights at the backlanes of Section 11 PJ, among other sections, [SEE PHOTO ATTACHED OF THE SOLAR POWERED LIGHT BESIDE MY HOUSE]. Since Dato has announced that residents have to pay for lighting up their backlanes (also a bad idea, as the GE13 is around the corner), does it mean the solar powered lights installed at all the backlanes of Section 11, 12 and 19, etc have failed?? How much did MBPJ spend on this abortive project?

By the way, I wish to request that, if MBPJ is to continue with this solar powered lights at our backlanes, please make sure the lights work effectively AND AT THE CORRECT TIMES!! At the moment, most of the lights switch on at 7.30pm and switch off at 11.30 pm automatically! Dato must agree with us that from 11.30pm and until about 6am in the morning, the back lanes should be lighted up, AND NOT LEFT IN THE DARK BY THESE SOLAR POWERED LIGHTS :((

So, can you see why I am so confused, when Dato announced that the residents HAVE TO PAY FOR LIGHTING UP THE BACKLANES?

I am surprised too, at the MBPJ Budget, to say the least... LOL
