I wonder if this lamp post cover has ever been cleaned.  It is a waste of power because the output of its brightness is reduced by the dirt that sticks on its cover.  This lamp post accompanied me many years ago because it shone into my room every night.  I never noticed that there is dirt on it until I took its close up photo.

However, it is a waste of human power if a lamp post is cleaned too often.  Imagine there might be billions of lamp posts in our country and countless of lamp posts around the world.  Do you think lamp posts should be cleaned?  I think there must be a way to find the balanced point.

In Malaysia, I think the authorities should repair the roads with potholes first before cleaning the lamp posts.  I seldom use a road in Kuching here, but every time I passed by that road, the big pothole on the road has never been repaired.  Nobody reported about it or the authorities know about it and never take any action? (Thousands of vehicle pass by everyday, most of them avoiding to drive into the pothole).  Why haven’t the authorities checked on that road?  I guess the staffs of the authorities have never used that road, am I right?

And should I write a complain letter about it since I seldom go there?  It would be not funny if I complain it after they have repaired it.  It is dangerous to stopped in the middle of a busy road to take a photo of that pothole as a prove to attach to a complain letter.  But I think repairing the potholes on roads is a lot more important than cleaning the lamp posts covers because it endangers the life of road users.

I suggest that the lamp post covers should be cleaned during the replacement of the faulty bulbs.

This lamp post made me think of a lot of things.
