DRESSING THE ELECTRICITY POLE AT BANDAR UTAMA

Hi! Readers, In my preceding article, we have written on the electricity  pole (substation), which was very messy and awful to our  eyes. This issue is only happened to the old phases of  Bandar Utama, where traditional methods were employed.  Thanks to new technology this issue is resolved, as  nowadays, these cables are planted underground. Having said this, the people around my area are so creative  that drive us to be  so excited to share with you. As we  believe photo speaks a thousand words. See the photos  below and some brief description which we hope can make  you be more appreciative.  The above photo is the most impressive as my neighbour  has not only build a square retaining wall around the pole,  but also dressed the pole with variety of plants - unique  and very pleasing to my eyes. Look at the plant with  sparkling leaves - so perfectly match if you look from the  side where the photo is taken. Whereas the photo above - indicates the plant is almost  as high as the electricity pole and almost envelope the  whole pole. Luckily the tree does not have a huge trunk.  Otherwise it may impose a danger to the people in  surrounding areas. Therefore, it is always wise to select  those trees which are not huge especially its trunks. Wow, look at the photo above - the papaya tree is  standing shyly behind the pole. Judging the size of the  tree, it is still has a long way to bear fruit and also  provided the tree is of "female" gender which can bear  fruit.  Here, we need to pray for this owner that it be a  "female" tree. However, this above photo indicates that the owner  prefers to let this pole take the glory with the tangling  cables serving as its spider webs. The above photo is taken at the corner unit, which the  owner chose to plant a row of the palm trees along the  end of the street, parallel to the pole - not a bad idea.  Whereas the other photo is taken from the other end.  These trees not only provide shades to the owners, but  also serve the same purpose for their vehicles, and it  greens the environment too. Thus, adding green to this  profound residential area. Big thanks to all these owners who have taken their  effort, time and money to beautify this residential area,  which in turn enhance their properties value. How wonderful if this little idea spread to each and  everyone of us? And if we put our hands together, how  nice it will turn out. Perhaps we should have a contest  and let us know which one you give the highest score to.  Hello, I can't see the cable as the trees are over grown  and cover the entire cable. Should we alert the school for  their over grown trees? I guess these trees need constant  pruning so as not to impose any danger to the residents  surrounding them. These trees are easily found along  Jalan BU 10/8.  This is another pole which was wholly enveloped by the  trees, which I find along the same street. I know the  committee had taken some action in the past. But they  may have overlook it this time or it may be it is the time  for the school to prune the trees again.  We, at Lift You Up, will alert the committee again by  circulating this article to them. Thanks for your time and hope we are contributing to  our community here especially in BU area, but also hope others will follow our footsteps so as to make the world  a very much better place to live with.
