IPOH: An open electrical switch box has raised concerns. Is it vandalism or mere negligence by those responsible for securing it?
Is the locking mechanism faulty, or was it simply left unlocked by mistake?
Located across the road from Ipoh Parade shopping mall on Jalan Sultan Abdul Jalil, the switch box appears relatively new and in good condition.
As of 6 p.m. yesterday, when this photo was taken, the box remained open. No maintenance personnel were in sight, and there were no indications of ongoing repair work.
This observation is not meant to point fingers but to highlight public concerns over safety, especially for pedestrians passing by the area.
It is always better to address the issue before an unfortunate incident occurs.
