Happy to receive an email from the Cut Waste Panel that I think is part of the Ministry of Finance about a suggestion I had made regarding a covered walkway linking Radin Mas Primary School and the bus-stop outside the school. The walkway is lighted up at night, but the lighting up makes that short stretch (about 30 meters) the brightest spot along Bukit Purmei Avenue.

Thanks. Harish Pillay
