The Public Works Department (JKR) has released a statement, complete with 11 official ways for the public to lodge their complaints after Malaysians questioned them of practicing double standards in their response to complaints.

Malaysia’s social media conversation earlier this week was largely dominated by the Kuala Langat Public Works Department (JKR Kuala Langat) quick apology and promise to repair a road after Science, Technology & Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar took a tumble after hitting a pothole while out cycling.

Many of the replies to the tweet by the Works Department claim the Works Department wouldn’t fix a pothole or apologise if it was the average citizen who had been hurt or even killed.

“Regardless of federal road, state road or council road, every complaint will be channeled to the relevant parties for immediate action,” read the statement posted on Facebook.
