Street Lights Only In Certain Areas
Padawan Municipal Council will install
street lighting at the most needed areas with the RM450, 000 allocation from
the state government for the purpose.
Council chairman Lo Khere Chiang said the
council had received several requests for the installation of street lighting,
but could not fulfil all due to limited fund.
“The council has received lots of requests
from villages for the installation of street lighting, but while we sympathise
with them, we just cannot entertain all the requests due to fund constraint.
“But with the RM450,000 allocation from the
state government, we will install them (street lighting) at the much needed
areas,” Lo told a press conference yesterday.
Lo thanked the state government for the
increased allocation from RM100, 000 that the council received previously.
Lo explained that the council could not
install street lighting without the allocation because doing so would prevent
other projects like tar-sealing of roads, drainage works and grass-cutting from
being carried out.
