About Putrajaya again

Since i am in the mood to write about my kampung, here goes some more second thoughts of mine:

There are many other observations that i can highlight.
But on second thought, i have faith that Putrajaya is run like a
corporation and defintely, they should be better than the local
council and even KL City Hall.
The plans for Putrajaya is First Class, but we must remember that not
all the temporary residents of Putrajaya has First class mentality.
Putrajaya is populated by people from various segments of society, who
were staying in a lesser standard of accomodation in and around KL,
including rumah haram and other housing estates where they hang their
rubbish on trees and their drains are clogged.
Putrajaya is perfectly tailor made as a showcase to the world.
Tourists passed by every day and night and the Dataran Putra is a focal
point for their visit.
Some how, there are a few occasions when events are held on the
Dataran and the organisers closed the whole area and hence,
inconveniencing the bus loads of tourist who has a limited time to
visit this area and hence, missing the opportunity to drop by. There
are so many other places where these events can be held but yet they
have to do it at the Dataran and worst still close the whole area.
I cannot comprehend the rationale for this!!
When Putrajaya was initially opened, i remember the then KSN, Tan Sri
Halim Ali, who is a friend of mine, going around Putrajaya on his son
in law's motorbike to observe things. He will despatch one of his
loyal Indian staff, i forgot his name, to advise residents who hang
their clothes on the shrubs and bushes and fences behind their house,
with the reasoning that it does not look well on the landscape of
Putrajaya and that there are tourists who pass by everyday.
Even, the placement of air-cond outdoor units are to be placed in a
specific part of the house, so that it does not jeopardise the house.
I remember i had to remove 3 units to the proper place initially
because i simply placed them at the convenience of the air cond
contractors, the cost of which could have make me purchase another air
cond unit!!
Even, now at my present house, i have not made any renovations that
will disturb the originality of the house. I only erected a Pegola
type structure at my kitchen, because without it my wet kitchen will
be subjected to the elements, and hence render it useless. That too, i
have been served a summon which i have to pay because, my applications
for that renovation was lost and it was not done properly.
Being, like i said a typical govt servant, albeit ex, i have no qualm
of paying and in the process of submitting a fresh and proper
application.

Now i see a blatant disregard of this and air cond are simply hung at
their convenience, hence making it an an ugly sight.
I am a firm believer of the rule of law and i break them when i can
have a good reason, for example beating the red light on a lonely road
at midnight, in this case in Putrajaya lonely roads.
Perbadanan have to be firm in enforcing the rules.


After all, what is the problem of enforcing rules for civil servants?
