The stretch outside Surian Residence, namely Jalan Kepayan Kobusak, is shrouded in darkness without illumination from the streetlights for more than a week.
PENAMPANG District Council is urged to reactivate all the streetlights along Jalan Kepayan Kobusak as some of the facilities in front of Surian Residences Condominium have stopped functioning for more than a week.“It is pitch dark outside our condo because four of the streetlights on the main road are not functioning for many nights already,” said a representative from the condo’s management company.

He said the road must be well lit at night without fail given the high traffic along the stretch even in the late hours.
“This will not only benefit our dwellers but also all road users,” he added.
He pointed out that having sufficient lighting outside the main entrance of their condo is necessary for safety reason.
“I agree with the excuses given to us by our dwellers that the darkness will only invite trouble to them.

“Some of them complained of poor visibility on the road which can lead to accidents if the facilities are not functioning,” he added.
A Council spokesman assured that its staff at the technical section would be deployed to check on the internal wiring of these facilities as soon as possible.
