She added that she had alerted Miri City Council (MCC) on the matter.
In response to the issue, mayor Adam Yii revealed that 31 of such covers had been reported stolen or broken since January this year, which involved a total loss of RM12,000.
“If only we have people of better civic-mindedness, compassion and empathy, we will have a much better world”, he opined.
“Ninety-nine per cent of the problems in our society are man-made,” he reckoned. — DayakDaily
