The Segambut MP says chargers in TTDI and Desa Sri Hartamas appear to be obstructing walkways and taking up public parking space.

PETALING JAYA: Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh has urged Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to clarify its guidelines on the placement of electric vehicle (EV) chargers following complaints from residents in Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

Commenting on a recent Malay Mail report, Yeoh said several of the newly installed chargers appeared to encroach on pedestrian walkways and occupy already limited public parking space in areas such as TTDI and Desa Sri Hartamas.

“While I fully support DBKL’s efforts to promote cleaner and more sustainable modes of transportation, I am concerned about the placement of these EV charging units in Segambut, particularly whether they comply with existing regulations related to public safety, urban planning and pedestrian accessibility,” she said in a statement today.
