THE overflowing wastewater on the pedestrian walkway that connects the multistorey parking lot in Taman Segar and Cheras Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station has inconvenienced users and residents in the area.
Resident Chua Ah Hock said the
path was affected by a leaking sewage pipe.
“MRT users and residents are uncomfortable whenever they have to use the walkway due to the stagnant wastewater,” said Chua.
“The path is also covered with moss and becomes slippery particularly during rainy days.
“People also cannot stand the foul odour coming from the wastewater whenever they have to pass by the walkway.”
He said Taman Segar was a hive of activity, particularly on weekends, as it had many eateries, shops and a shopping mall.
“Therefore, I hope the authorities
can take action to address this problem.”

Cheras MCA Women chief Datin Heng Sinn Yee said representatives from Kuala Lumpur City Hall had visited the area in the morning to check on the matter following an official complaint lodged by them and the residents recently.
“They told me that they will come again tomorrow (Monday) to see what can be done to fix the problem.
“I hope they will rectify the problem as soon as possible,” said Heng, who visited the area with reporters on Friday.
