Fighting crime using LED lights

On reading your report, Fighting crime using LED lights I could not help but 'rolled on the floor, laughing out loud' {ROFLOL} as I felt that MBPJ is having another one of its hare brained schemes again. I have already commented on the wastefulness of the "prototype" parking bay project in PJ New Town which is apparently rusting away, and also from my email below, I have asked MBPJ why they are not continuing to MAINTAIN the Solar Panel Backlane Streetlights that they have installed in Section 11, PJaya, and elsewhere.

Attached are some pictures of the Solar panel back lane street lights installed at the BACKLANE of Jalan 11/10 PJ. Despite numerous complaints no action has apparently been taken to fine tune the lights. At the moment, all the lights shown in the pictures turn on approximately at 7.30pm, and turn off before MIDNIGHT. The streetLight behind house no 52 Jalan 11/10 has its solar panels hidden by on overgrown tree, and so does not turn on at all. In spite of numerous phone calls and emails to Aduan MBPJ, no action has been taken to trim the tree, as the MBPJ staff claimed that since the roots of the tree originated from a house, the overhanging branches are the responsibility of that house owner {no 10 Jalan 11/4}. So the residents of Jalan 11/10 are left with backlanes without lighting after midnight, and any right thinking person would agree that the times from midnight to dawn are the most 'dangerous' times in terms of criminality.

So my question, this time, to MBPJ is, are we now supposed to join the LUA program and install the beautiful Korean made LED lights, at our own expense? My next question is, will this be another hare brained scheme of MBPJ, and then left to 'rot' without maintenance, just like the hundreds of solar panel street lights that have been installed in many sections of PJ?
