A few days ago, members of Gerakan Batu Division visited the Taman Metropolitan Batu to inspect the environment and the facilities of the recreational park.

Gerakan Youth Secretary General Dr. Dominic Lau who attended the visitation said that the Gerakan Batu Division Service Center had promptly paid an immediate visit to the recreational park once it received complaints from the local residents, the group discovered that the drains were not covered, stray dogs were wandering around which was threatening the safety of the morning joggers. Besides, fallen trees which were blown down by strong wind and rubbish were not cleaned, the facilities of the park such as the artificial rock cliffs and recreational facilities were long damaged and have been left unattended without maintenance and the signboards of the park were fell off, abandoned cabins were placed everywhere along with other problems.

“I am disappointed with the serious dereliction of duty by the DBKL, there was no regular maintenance undertook by the council on the recreational park. In fact, the recreational park has a very good environment and beautiful scenery, which is a good place for leisure to the local residents, but the lack of maintenance and care has wasted such a good recreational environment,” added Dominic Lau.

In this regard, Dominic Lau indicated that he will immediately reflected the problems of the Taman Metropolitan Batu’s recreational park to the DBKL and will follow up with them to take the necessary actions as soon as possible to improve the condition of the park.
