The protest continues in Sri Petaling homes

After our protest at the Parliament, we decided to continue our protest literally in our backyard of our homes. Our colorful and impactful banners was hung at the wall behind our homes to notify the passing traffic of our grievances.

Here are some of the pictures

Among the messages were :
“Highway is destroying our homes”
“Jangan Gadaikan Nyawa Penduduk untuk Lebuhraya”
“Authorities Error, Rakyat Suffer”
“No to Highway 2.3 Meters away from Homes”

Our aim is for the Government to assist us in moving out of the the area which is no longer conducive for residential living. Under certain circumstances, the Malaysian Government has acquired the land and property to build infrastructure projects like this. We are wondering why they refuse to help the citizens this time. Is this a sign of a complacent Government?

Highway Key Facts

26KM stretches from Kampung Pandan to Putrajaya
consession signed on 22 Oct 1997
adequate land was available then
resident wrote letter to LLM to advice them to ensure adequate buffer zone since there is land (1997)
project was shelved due to economic crisis
DBKL approved housing project when they should have reserved the land for highway
houses built and sold to unsuspecting buyers
land was 'lost' in the process due to authorities blunder
project is bulldozed through despite protest for safety
project is in breach of their own guidelines

Isn't it ironic?

LLM, DBKL, DOE say they are not aware about the sheer proximity of the highway to the homes!

A resident has written to the authorities way back in 1997 to realign the Right Of Way of the highway to utilize the undeveloped Zone N. [click here to see the letter and how it fell on deaf ears of the authorities]

The developer of Zone N (Petaling Garden Berhad) managed to obtain approval to build houses along a path of designated federal highway. How can that be?
