The lights near the turn-off from Jalan Kolam onto Jalan Kebajikan are operating as they should.
City Hall has played down an incident where the streetlights along a section of the Kolombong-Lintas Ring Road were found to be operational on a recent weekday, saying that this was not an instance of electricity-wastage.
