ELEVEN months have passed since StarMetro highlighted the plight of residents in Hulu Selangor’s Bukit Beruntung and Bukit Sentosa on Jan 11 but their problems still persist.
Many abandoned houses and apartments in Bukit Sentosa and Prima Beruntung have become hideouts for drug addicts and breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Its surroundings are nothing to shout about either. Drains along these housing areas are clogged with undergrowth and some even have trees growing from inside.
Unlit streets also threaten the safety of the residents as potholes are not patched up.
Lousy: Bus service in Bukit Sentosa is unreliable. Bukit Beruntung Residents Charity Association (BBRCA) president Augustine Maria Dasan have made numerous trips to the Hulu Selangor District Council (MDHS) to voice these issues.
He had also met up with MDHS president Tukiman Nail, Batang Kali assemblyman Datuk Mohd Isa Abu Kasim and Hulu Selangor MP P. Kamalanathan to seek solutions but so far, nothing has been done.
Dasan wants the abandoned buildings to be sealed, streetlights fixed, potholes patched up and undergrowth cleared. He added that Bukit Sentosa and Prima Beruntung had no active residents’ association so BBRCA had been acting on their behalf.
Meanwhile, lorries parked along the main roads are a nuisance to motorists as well as damaging the road shoulders.
The lorries are usually parked along Jalan Utama, Jalan Inai, Jalan Melor, Jalan Anggerik, Jalan Kemboja, Jalan Kekwa and Jalan Mawar where the drivers have their breakfast.
As these lorries enter the residential area, residents fear for the safety of their children.
Lastly, bus service at the Bukit Sentosa station has been infrequent, causing a major inconvenience for residents who want to travel to town.
The area is in a rut as residents are plagued by a number of pressing issues while their plight goes unattended.
Authorities should focus on giving the town a facelift with improved amenities, dependable public transport and a cleaner environment to live in.
