Insufficient Street Lighting

Several complaints regarding insufficient of street lighting (mainly by the residents in PJS 7, SS15, USJ 2, USJ 12... etc) come to my attention recently.

There is a common understanding that lamp post with galvanised iron (G.I.) type is erected by contractor engaged by MPSJ. Meanwhile, lamp post with precast concrete (P.C.) type is erected by TNB. The cost for installation & electrical bill for the formal type will debited to MPSJ eventually.

G.I. type lamp posts (including decorative type) are mainly erected along (at both road sides or its median) the Main Roads (Persiaran Tujuan for example) & Distribution Roads. As for the Local Roads, in which in front of our house, are with P.C. posts.

There is an existing policy that lighting will be installed at every alternate P.C. post. Resident whom insists the lighting to be installed at the 'empty' P.C. post in front of his/her house can apply through TNB directly. However, the electrical bill will be debited to his / her personal account monthly. Kindly contact TNB Bandar Subang Jaya at 03-56337000 for further information.

As highlighted by Y.B. Hannah Yeoh during the dialog with residents in conjunction with 100 Days celebration with Pakatan Rakyat's Government on 30/06/08, every resident wanted the lighting to be installed at every single P.C. post due to the increased crime rate recently. However, this would lead to excessive overhead / monthly electric bill to be bear by MPSJ.

In the same event, Mr. Chia Kwai Loy (MPSJ Councillor 2008/09) who resides in USJ 16 recommended every resident should do his / her part to help help to bright-up the compound / area. The resident should on his / her car porch light / garden light and backyard light at night.

Nevertheless, as for the certain locations (as shown in the above photo) which have installed any lamp post. Application shall be forwarded to Jabatan Kejuruteraan, MPSJ (and not to TNB directly) for action.
