Driving in KL

I've been driving in KL city for years, and one thing I always found is that the road condition in the KL city is terrible. You could find all sort of uneven surfaces everywhere, and worst is there are holes all around, and you are risking damaging your vehicles driving inside KL city.

It is suppose all the road surfaces to be smooth and evenly laid, but everytime after a road surface is relaid, there are some drainage covers along the road which shall be raise up to the same level and casting of concrete. But to our surprise, DBKL doesn't even know how to make good of such things they just leave the cover as its original level. So everytime when driving pass these covers, we will experience a huge bump into the hole.

What if our vehicle is damaged because of this? Can we claim DBKL for damages and repair costs? Will they admit their fault? Whose responsibility is it to make sure road surface are done up to international standard?

Months ago DBKL chief is suggesting to incurred the congestion charge for vehicle drive into city centre, but yet they are not improving their services. For me if DBKL can guarantee the quality of public services, I don't mind to pay for the congestion charges, just like London. But before anything, DBKL would have to make sure all are in place and well organised, and that public services is well and truely improved before talking about congestion charge.

Otherwise it will only become another money printing machine to them and we, the civilians will still be suffering and there will never be any improvement if payment being made up front
