MBPJ demolishes boom gate

PETALING Jaya City Council's (MBPJ) enforcement team recently demolished illegal barriers around the city's residential areas.

The council's team, led by Public Complaints Unit director Tengku Nazaruddin Zainudin said that they had to act on the many complaints about such illegal barriers from residents.

The 15-member team used a bulldozer to remove a boom gate in Jalan 12/16.  

According to Tengku Nazaruddin, residents' associations need to apply to the local council to get permission before they can put up any barriers.

"Our checks reveal that this neighbourhood's boom gate is illegal, hence the removal," he said, adding that the team would be doing this phase by phase in other parts of PJ.
