PETALING JAYA: Tangga Batu MP Datuk Dr Abu Bakar Mohamad Diah has expressed his dissatisfaction on social media over the large potholes along Bukit Rambai, Malacca.
Dr Abu Bakar, who is Science, Technology and Innovation Deputy Minister, uploaded several photos of him sitting in a large pothole on his Facebook page, and voiced his discontent at the poor road quality.
"The district office has not done anything after complaints were made," he said after visiting the site on Saturday evening.
Dr Abu Bakar's on-the-ground efforts did not go unnoticed, with his post receiving over 1,600 likes and close to 300 shares.
"This is the fate of the people's representative. When the roads have holes, people say that the representative is not doing his job.
"When I make a complaint, it goes unheeded. That is why I am sitting in the middle of the road taking pictures like a tourist,” Dr Abu Bakar said.
He then sarcastically encouraged people to take pictures of the potholes, saying that the view at the location was "beautiful".
