Gerakan raps Selangor over cost of walkway upgrading works

Teratai state assemblyman and Complaints Bureau chief Ben Liew Pok Boon claimed the expenditure was illogical as it only involved a one-kilometre stretch.

"I can say it is the most expensive walkway in Malaysia in terms of upgrading work. We are also uncertain about the material used, because based on the contractor's observation, the upgrading work is worth only about RM500,000," he told a media conference here today.

Liew also said the upgrading work was not completed as there were still potholes and scattered stones that posed a danger to the elderly and children using the walkway, especially during the rainy season.
