Apart from ending up in a shithole, fortunately nobody died. Also, thankfully, there's no shit in the shithole just yet but I wonder what will happen if one of the concrete shithole covers gives way some years later when a car or heavy lorry drives over it. By then, the shithole would be full of sewerage and the unfortunate passengers may well not get out alive.
I saw some people standing around the construction site of one of these sewer shafts on Jalan Universiti this evening but was not quite sure what it was all about as I was rushing to get some medicine for my aunt from a pharmacy before it closed.
Be especially careful when driving along roads such as Jalan Kemajuan in Petaling Jaya at night, since the street lights are all not working along this road and sewer construction is still ongoing along this road.
If this car could have plunged into this shithole whilst it was still light, what more the likelihood when it's dark.
This sewerage reticulation system being built in Petaling Jaya and elsewhere is a Federal Government project and the sewer shafts are dug into the roads, causing much traffic disruption.
Take care
