——————————————
Dear fellow residents,
Thank you for attending our residents meeting held at the Sri Petaling Community Center. For those of you who missed our meeting, we wish to inform you the following outcome.
1. The concessionaire will be contacting individual house owner regarding the repairs. They will give you a proposal on how they intend to repair your house. You will need to negotiate the proposal with the concessionaire directly. The committee members will not be involved in the negotiation between you and the concessionaire unless necessary. Please bear in mind that they are suppose to restore your house to its original state. You are allowed to use your own contractor provided you notify them beforehand of the costs. If the repairs are done by the concessionaire, a warranty is included. For those of you who have done some repairs on your own, please keep the receipts so that you can make a claim later.
2. The survey forms circulated gathered the following responses. In total, 46% responses have been recorded from Jalan 1/149J while Zone N has a response rate of 68%. We will inform you of the results once we get more submissions. Please remind your neighbours to return the survey form to the Zone N guard house. We need the results to tell the authorities what our demands are as a single voice later.
3. Car stickers has been distributed during the meeting. Please put them on your cars to tell the authorities that our issue is not settled yet. We don’t want them to think that we have accepted the issue and have no intention to pursue further. If you need more stickers, please drop by Zone N’s guard house and request for them.
If you need to make any complaint to the concessionaire please call Ms Yati of Maju Holdings Sdn Bhd at 012-3935075.
We shall be updating you more often as time permits.
Yours Sincerely,

Meeting with the Minister of Works

Resident representatives meeting with the Minister of Works
On 17 October, 2005, I received a SMS from YB Teresa Kok that Works Minister, YB Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has requested her to convey a notice for meeting with the residents’ representatives to be held on 19 October at 4pm. Subsequently, I received calls and fax from the authorities informing the meeting with the Minister. The conditions were that the representatives are limited to three and no media should be invited.
Our action committee had an emergency meeting and nominated three representatives as follows:
- Lau Kien Foh – Overall representative
- Au Lai Koong – Represent Zon N
- Sallehudin – Represent Zon L
We also agreed on the strategy and action steps. We decided to take the opportunity to show all the documentation evidence and convince the Minister on our positions.
On 19 October 2005, our team arrived at the ministry half an hour before the meeting and soon joined by YB Teresa. We were invited into the meeting room around 4pm. In the meeting room, there were about 20 senior officers from the authorities. We took the opportunity to introduce ourselves and also get to know them. About 10 mins later, the Minister walked into the meeting room and shook hands with us.
Protest at Malaysia Parliament House
Posted by sripetaling.net in Events & Meetings, News & Developments, Residents Actions on September 20th, 2005
While all the effort to communicate and resolve our issues ignored, the residents decided to stage a protest at the Malaysia Parliament House during one of the sitting.
The residents conducted a peaceful protest at the Parliament on the 19 Sept 2005. Arriving in the morning, close to about 100 residents of Sri Petaling lifted their spirits and colorful banners to voice their displeasure for the construction of the highway so close to their homes.
We prepared a memorandum to be handed to some of the Members of Parliament for the purpose of highlighting our struggle. We met Dato Shahrir Samad who is the chairman of Backbenchers Club and Public Accounts Committee (PAC). He received our memorandum and agreed to investigate into the matter. We also distributed leaflets which was circulating in the House hoping the Works Minister would take notice our effort to contact him.
Here are some of the selected pictures . (Click on the pictures to see the whole gallery)
We finally managed to meet the Works Minister, Samy Vellu and he mentioned a few statements regarding the project indicating that he is not afraid to meet the residents because he is NOT in the wrong. He got all fired up and screamed when one of the residents made a harsh but true comment about him and the project.

The following were some of the achievements during the protest.
- We managed to achieve the following at the parliament picketing
- Distributed about 400 flyers to all passer-by going in and out of the Parliament
- Met up with Dato Shahrir, Chairman of Public Accounts Committee to present our case
- Press interview with ntv7
- Finally we managed to meet Datuk Seri S Samy Vellu on his way out of the Parliament
We hope the Minister would seriously look into our request this time.

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?
