I pass by the place quite often and once in a while I'd see people working there. And 2 weeks ago they kicked into action again. These are some shots we took when we stopped by recently.
Would be nice place for kids to come play...at least another attraction in Alor Star...if they last that long to be called a permanent attraction! ...
Unfortunately, like many things that we build these days, flaws are seen quite early on. This place was completed just in time for the Sultan's Golden Jubilee in July. It's early November now and already the place seems to be breaking at its seams. All over you can see these lines stretching from one end to the other. It looks as though they dug it out to lay some cables or something. Or it could just be the earth shifting...poor foundation work. Walk around some more and you'll find many loose tiles, some already cracked, others cracking...
This is one of the spouts that don't quite 'spout'...somehow the spout alignment has run. Water is shooting at the glass with just sprays coming out of the hole. I counted at least 3 like that. Looking at the way things were, I'm really wondering whether these splash pads can continue to function as they are intended.

to the "professional eye", the splash pads look like poor design, and the damaged paviors just shoddy workmanship coupled probably with the wrong kind of mortar... but what do I know, eh?
More than the flers who built 'em pads....tender, sub, den sub some more...finally last person left holding the job has only a paltry sum...so cut corners. How to tahan lama?
