DBKL official denies spraying disinfectant on roads after criticism

Wednesday, 01 Apr 2020 12:12 PM MYTAn Alam Flora personnel sprays disinfectant at Pasar Pudu to prevent the spread of the coronavirus in Kuala Lumpur April 1, 2020. — Picture by Firdaus Latif

“What actually happened was when we turn off our jet-sprays, it doesn’t shut off immediately. There’s still pressure on the liquid inside the spray and it takes a little time before the pressure recedes. Alam Flora deployed 30 people for the exercise with the Fire Department sending 18 men and DBKL itself deploying 12 personnel for disinfection and an additional eight staff from its traffic control unit to cordon off roads and handle traffic.

Unfortunately, despite warnings and disclaimers from the city hall, there were still errant traders in the area surrounding the wet market, who refused to shutter their stores for one day.
