EVERY now and then, when dengue cases are on the rise, we read of calls by the authorities to keep our compounds clean and free of stagnant water. However, I observed that the carpark along the Taman Bahagia LRT Station is overgrown with bushes. Apart from being a breeding ground for mosquitoes, it may shelter pests like snakes. This poses a danger to the public who park their vehicles there, having to walk by such overgrowth. I hope prompt action can be taken for the safety and cleanliness of the neighbourhood.
