LLM impact survey follow up « KL-Putrajaya Highway, Government Project Gone Bad

LLM impact survey follow up

Mr Lau, Tan and Au met up with Dato’ Shahrir on 21 Oct 2008 at Parliament. We updated him on our follow-up actions and conveyed to him re our proposed resolutions (immediate and long term). He agreed to bring the matter to the Minister and Cabinet.

Here is the follow up letter to LLM we sent recently. Basically we would like to know the next action after the completion of the impact survey. We hope they can mitigate the impact of noise and dust pollution immediately

We will be counting the time it takes for them to respond to us again.

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?
