IPOH: The issue of potholes and a collapsed drain along Jalan Ampang Jaya 1, located behind the Mr DIY building, has increasingly alarmed residents in Ampang Baru.
According to Nor Azman Yahya, 58, the problem was reported to local authorities several years ago, yet no action has been taken to address it.
“We have lodged complaints regarding this issue for years, but no action has been taken, and our concerns seem to have been ignored,” he said.
He urged the authorities to act promptly as the situation has worsened, with the collapsed drain potentially obstructing water flow, particularly during heavy rain.
“If left unattended, the uneven road structure will continue to deteriorate. The collapsed drain could also cause water blockages, increasing the risk of flash floods,” he told Ipoh Echo/Peraktastic.
Nor Azman hopes that responsible parties will repair the damage soon before the situation worsens.
