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.
A spokesman for the agency’s Engineering Department clarified that maintenance work was being carried out on the lights.
“They were deliberately switched on so that our contractor could identify which of them had malfunctioned,” he said.
