Vandals, Thieves and Rubbish-dunkers

I hate vandals, period. They also steal things too. I hate them, that's it.

They are the worst kind. They did their filthy job at night and disappeared. They damaged public utilities and disappeared. They stole wrought-iron street covers, electrical poles cover, fences, and even public sporting utilities and disappeared, carting off with public property, with the intent of selling in some Indian backyard iron scrap dealers in Puchong.

The last one was obvious at Section 7 Shah Alam lakeside jogging track. It is prevalent that these thieves have wrecked our hopes when the rip off the sporting utilities: the master swing walk holder, the notice boards, safety parts and pieces of the rower, hipster-swing-around and etc.

The lakeside jogging track, public park gymnasium (if you can call it) and children's park were the only sane thing left in Shah Alam for people like me to utilize, as there is hardly anything else you can do in this dead by 8pm, rustic town but rotting Bandaraya of Shah Alam. I have been exasperated by attempts to complain but these have fallen on deaf ears. Those dickheads in MBSA are just bureacrats who do not think that enforcement on new facilities is their KPI and KRA.

Talking about new, this area has been open to public for a year now but the facilities were ready and completed by July this year. I am sad that the thieves and vandals got away with their freaking criminal activities and antics, I am sure some day they will get "rewarded" by their bad deeds.

I like the lakeside jogging track, which is about 1.5km in circumference. It is serene in the morning, however, with some eyesores of household rubbish strewn about in the lake. These unscrupulous rubbish-dunkers are as bad as the vandals and thieves. They should be punished for the irresponsible act they have created and done.

I think the authorities are slow in acting up. They should install CCTV at the parks or install something that looked like camera with flickering lights every other 5 secs. That will scare them off. These authorities, especially those arm-chaired bastardly-good-for-nothing bureaucrats in MBSA, need to think outside the box rather than just pleasing politicians who think that this is their bapak-punya country.

Don't build parks, jogging tracks if you don't intend to maintain them and more importantly, protect them. And, I wonder if residents' associations here or the Qariahs have any initiatives to patrol these areas at night, as the parks are not only a perfect to cart off with public property, they are also a good haunt for unmarried young couples to do their quicky there.

C'est la vie.
