PETALING JAYA: There should be a multi-pronged approach by state departments and highway authorities to ensure fewer animals get killed on our roads, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
Responding to the recent slew of roadkill, the Alliance for Safe Community chairman said this was due to decades of encroachment into wildlife habitats.
The issue, he said, needed consideration and collaboration between highway authorities, the Works Ministry and state wildlife departments to work out a solution. A Star Metro report on Thursday (May 6) reported that more than 100 wild animals have been killed in accidents in Johor since 2019.
This included seven tapirs that were killed since January this year.
SEVERAL security bollards in and around the city centre have been destroyed just a few months after Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) installed them to keep motorcyclists and traders off pedestrian walkways.
Several of the multicoloured bollards, near Sogo in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and along Jalan Ampang, were found broken and dislodged.
A DBKL spokesman told Star Metro that he did not think it was the work of vandals, but motorcyclists encroaching on public walkways or lorries loading and unloading goods at nearby shops.
“One of our CCTV cameras even caught a food delivery rider riding on the walkways and knocking over one of the bollards, he said.
