<h2>A man is going viral for patching up a pothole in Taman Sentosa, Klang, using his own money and drawing attention to the inaction of the local authorities</h2>
</div>
<div class="segment-body">
<div class="text">
<div class="">
<p><p>X user <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://twitter.com/NaratifRakyat/status/1744700696522604651">@NaratifRakyat</a> posted <b></b>a video of the individual<b>&nbsp;painting the words &#8220;Duit saya (My money)&#8221; on a freshly tarred road patch.</b></p>
<p><b>&#8220;This is my money. This is your money. This is not YB&#8217;s money,&#8221; he says to the camera while pointing at the road.</b></p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m writing this so that [the Klang Municipal Council (MPK)] will not claim [it is their work]. If I don&#8217;t write this, we&#8217;ll be using our own money but they will claim it [as their work],&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>According to the video&#8217;s caption, a pothole had caused a motorcyclist to fall, which prompted the man to take it upon himself to patch the road.</p>
<p>&#8220;Despite complaining to the Sentosa assemblyman, there has been no action. In the end, the public will fix it with their own money! What&#8217;s the point of having a government like this?&#8221; read the caption.</p>

<p>&#8220;The area&#8217;s [previous] council member had advised MPK to take action and repair the road, but there was no follow-up before their term ended, and the new council member will begin work on 15 January,&#8221; he wrote.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will meet with MPK again this [Wednesday] to ensure that the repair of all damaged roads in Taman Sentosa and Klang is prioritised,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Gunaraj also thanked the man for fixing the road on his own accord and promised, once again, to advise MPK to take immediate action to ensure the safety of road users.</p>
