Potholes on the roads can cause serious damages to vehicles and lead to accidents at times. However, there are still many roads in our country that are riddled with potholes.
Recently, a video was shared on Twitter by @NaratifRakyat which showed a man painting the words “My Money” on a pothole that he took it upon himself to fix.
The pothole was said to be along Jalan Hulubalang, Taman Sentosa, Klang which allegedly resulted in an accident inolving a biker.
Many complaints were allegedly submitted to Sentosa assemblyman Dr Gunaraj George but no action was taken.
Finally, the man who was not named in the video decided to fix the pothole himself.
He said he wrote down “Duit Saya” (my money) on the road to ensure no one else would take credit for his work.
“This is my money; this is your money. This is not the YB’s money. We do this so that they don’t claim. Otherwise, (even if) we use our money, people will claim,” he said in the video.
Jalan berlubang sampai ada penunggang motor jatuh. Dh adu kpd Adun Taman Sentosa Klang tetap tiada tindakan. Akhirnya org awam baiki dgn duit sendiri !!

Nama siapa, PRU16 undi dia.
Any pot holes on the public road kindly attend to it urgently . That is rule of the day . What the road works and safety department can’t handle or manage it. We support a healthy and smooth government . Thank you dear all

Harap pak cik tu simpan segala resit. Claim balik tax. Penunggang moto pun claim balik road tax. Tak kisah berapa kali tukar govt pun sama je

Assemblyman thanks good samaritan
Once the video went viral, the PKR assemblyman responded to the issue on his Facebook page.
Dr Gunaraj said Jalan Hulubalang frequently suffers from damages due to rain and heavy vehicles plying the residential area.
He also said that the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) has been advised to take action and repair the roads.
“The MPK has already been advised to act to improve the roads by the council members, but no follow-up has been carried out as the term of the council members has ended and the new council members will come in on 15 January, “he said in the post.
According to Dr Gunaraj, a meeting was held yesterday evening with the president of the Klang Municipal Council Noraini Roslan to ensure that priority is given to fixing the potholes on the roads, not only in Taman Sentosa but Klang in general.
Dr Gunaraj also thanked the man in the video for taking the initiative to fix the pothole.
“…We are very grateful to the individual for fixing the road. I have suggested to the MPK to ensure that immediate action is taken concerning these roads for the safety of road users around Taman Sentosa,” he added.
