Malaysia's Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) faces criticism for allowing restaurants to set up tables and chairs on public walkways. Save Kuala Lumpur (SKL) chairman Datuk M. Ali expresses strong dissatisfaction, accusing the government and DBKL of ignoring the public's concerns and contradicting their own long-term urban planning plans.
Ali questions the lack of public consultation and the secrecy surrounding DBKL's decision. He argues that placing obstacles on pedestrian paths endangers residents and exposes them to traffic risks. Ali also calls for official objections through the ADU@KL website, urging residents to raise their concerns about this decision.
