KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 -- Kuala Lumpur City Hall , along with the relevant agencies and utility companies, are advised to collaborate in mapping underground utilities to avoid unwanted incidents, especially when a development project is underway.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said that mapping utilities is crucial to understanding the underground situation, as many areas contain pipelines and electric cables that are sometimes not accurately mapped by utility companies. “I have received many complaints I have received many complaints that during the development of projects, dredging work often reveals large TNB cables, for example, that were not indicated on the map.
“Hence, a need for collaboration with the Kuala Lumpur mayor to ensure that we not only have mapping on the surface but also utility mapping,“ he told reporters when met after the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Mega Merdeka Gotong-royong programme today.Slim River water surge: Bailey bridge to replace collapsed bridge in Slim Village - MB
