Unless your name is Khairy Jamaluddin, the authorities would probably turn a blind eye on your complaints:

If that happens, you can take a cue from this woman in Thailand to see if the authorities would still ignore your plight.

A Thai woman went the extra mile to highlight the problem to the relevant authorities and to prompt them to take necessary action.

Creative solution to never-ending problem

According to a report in Malay Mail, Chaluayjit Wansueb, 33, dressed up as an astronaut to call out the local government for failing to address the problem in her neighbourhood in Khon Kaen city.

Chaluayjit reportedly wore a helmet, white hazmat suit and waved the Thailand flag while walking on the potholed road.

The road with potholes was disguised as the craters on the moon in a video that she posted

“Breaking news: A new planet discovered on Ban Huai Jod-Nong No Road, Huai Jod subdistrict, Kranuan district.

“We’re waiting for the authorities who are responsible for this.

“Please share for the sake of the road to our homes,” read the caption.

Her efforts paid off when she received the attention of Khon Kaen’s provincial governor Somsak Jungtrakul who ordered the potholes to be repaired.
