This is not footing under construction, but the abandoned one. At least 20 of similar footings along Jalan SS25/2 fronting with the LDP were found during my recent walk there. The footing was first set up for billboard structure but leave behind after the structure was relocated. This is a common phenomena with any site for advertising board. The billboard contractors have not factored in the maintenance culture and simply do not bother to remove the footing after the site is no more in use. If this trend is not checked properly, i am worried that soonest we will see a lot of footings idle at the side of walkway, junction and open space. The footing is dangerous to the pedestrian and park users. Perhaps it is good to set up a mechanism to monitor and act on this unscrupulous act. May be a sinking fund in which part of the deposit by contractors shall be retained to remove the footing or structure, if necessary.
