KL-Putrajaya Highway, Government Project Gone Bad

The committee members had a meeting last week to update the status of our struggle. Despite our busy schedules, we managed to make time at our usual mamak place for a night meeting.

Apparently, the Government had not responded to our correspondences. All the promises for a quick and efficient administration seems to be just hearsay. We have been waiting for 15 months now since our letter to the Prime Minister who had promised to look into our matter and come up with a solution. The letter dated 1 July 2007 can be found here [page 1, page 2, page 3]. Subsequently we received a letter of acknowledgment stating that the Prime Ministers office has received our letter on 26 July 2007 [page 1].

We have also sent a reminder letter to our Prime Minister on 19 Sept 2007 as we did not receive any response from the PMO since the letter of acknowledgment [page 1, page 2, page 3].

Here is our latest email to Tan Sri Mohd Sidek sent on 28 May 2009. Oh yes, we attached all the letters we previously sent to him too. We hope there will be a response this time.

Dear Tan Sri,

Congratulations for your extension of service to the Government of Malaysia.  I hope this email find you well.

I would like to keep Tan Sri informed that since we last communicated about the highway issues facing the residents of Sri Petaling Kuala Lumpur on 10 Feb 2008, we have followed up with TKP LLM, Ir. Ismail Md. Salleh as suggested by Tan Sri.

We regret to inform Tan Sri that till today (after 15 months), there are no responses nor resolutions nor updates from the authorities.  While we understand Tan Sri’s commitment to drive service excellent among public service delivery, this bad experience that we are facing is clearly a contradictory to what Tan Sri intended to achieve!

We hope Tan Sri will inquire what has gone wrong in the process and we are always ready to work with Tan Sri to resolve the issues facing our residents.

Thank you.

Yours truly,

Lau Kien Foh (Mr)
Chairman
Highway Action Committee
Sri Petaling Resident Association, Kuala Lumpur
