KUALA LUMPUR: Rows of cars left for months, and even years, along roadsides and in housing areas are not only an eyesore but have also become a persistent problem for residents, prompting calls for firm action by local authorities.
Three local authorities in the Klang Valley recorded a total of 27,117 abandoned vehicles, based on records covering different periods from 2021 to August this year.
Kajang Municipal Council recorded the highest number at 12,290 vehicles, followed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall with 11,001 complaints and Ampang Jaya Municipal Council with 3,826 vehicles.
Vehicles left for too long not only take up parking spaces and obstruct road users but could also pose safety risks and affect the cleanliness of their surroundings.
