DBKL never learns!
Posted by sripetaling.net in General Info, News & Developments on April 28th, 2009
There is an article in The Star Online today which has the following title “Residents claim proposed LRT lines too close to homes“. It looks like DBKL never learns. Despite the previous blunder which has caused the KL - Putrajaya highway to be built 2 metres away from our homes in Seri Petaling, now they will make the residents in Taman Esplanad in Bukit Jalil suffer what we have gone through during the construction.
Incidentally, it seems like DBKL is making a lot of major blunders in this part of the city, we wonder why?
Here is the full story from The Star Online
Residents claim proposed LRT lines too close to homes
By BAVANI M
MORE than a hundred residents living in Taman Esplanad in Bukit Jalil Kuala Lumpur staged a peaceful protest on Saturday to object to a proposed LRT extension running through their neighbourhood.
The residents are worried that if approved, the lines located some 12 metres from their backyard, will pose problems to those living in the area.
“The LRT alignments were proposed in the Draft Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (DKLCP2020) and we had already made our objections at a public hearing committee last year. But, we were surprised to discover that soil investigation work is currently being carried out at the site,” said a resident who only wished to be identified as Soh. Read the rest of this entry »
Kenapakah Kontrak Lebuhraya KL-Putrajaya Tidak Diumumkan?
Posted by sripetaling.net in General Info, News & Developments on February 25th, 2009
PEMBERITAHUAN PERTANYAAN BAGI JAWAB LISAN DEWAN RAKYAT
TARIKH: 24 FEBRUARI 2009 (SELASA)
SOALAN :
Puan Teresa Kok Suh Sim (Seputeh) minta MENTERI KERJA RAYA menyatakan sebab Kerajaan enggan mengumumkan kontrak Lebuh Raya KL-Putrajaya. Adakah ini disebabkan oleh Syarikat Konsesi Lebuh Raya KL-Putrajaya tidak menunaikan janjinya untuk membina bahagian jalan yang menyambung Putrajaya ke KLIA sebagaimana yang termaktub dalam persetujuannya dengan Kerajaan.
JAWAPAN :
Tuan Yang Di-Pertua.
Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat, pihak Kerajaan telah bersetuju untuk mendedahkan semua perjanjian konsesi bagi lebuhraya yang telah beroperasi. Walaubagaimanapun, Kerajaan tertakluk kepada klausa “confidentiality’ yang mana persetujuan Syarikat Konsesi Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya (Maju Expressway Sdn. Bhd) diperlukan sebelum Perjanjian Konsesi Lebuhraya Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya didedahkan kepada umum. Syarikat konsesi tidak memberi persetujuan terhadap pendedahan perjanjian konsesi tersebut kepada umum.
Untuk makluman Yang Berhormat, Syarikat Konsesi telah mematuhi semua spesifikasi yang ditetapkan dalam perjanjian konsesi.
Berhubung dengan pembinaan Lebuhraya dari Putrajaya ke KLIA yang sepanjang 16 km, mengikut perjanjian konsesi, Syarikat hendaklah dalam masa 5 tahun daripada tarikh pewartaan kutipan TOL, mengemukakan laporan kepada Kerajaan berhubung pembinaan lebuhraya ini dari segi kewangan dan ekonomi, samada pembinaan lebuhraya ini ‘viable’ atau tidak.

LLM impact survey follow up
Posted by sripetaling.net in Correspondences, News & Developments, Residents Actions on October 23rd, 2008
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.
Still no reply from LLM..
Posted by sripetaling.net in News & Developments, Residents Actions on September 22nd, 2008
We are still awating a reply from LLM. Based on the letter we sent earlier, LLM is supposed to get back to us on the survey impact results.
I did a quick search on LLM website on the addressee of our letter, Ir Abdullah b. Hashim. Apparently he is the Pengarah for Pembangunan dan Pemantauan Projek (Director of Project Development and Implementation). This is quite an important position but it should NOT be with someone who doesn’t reply correspondences.

LLM follow up letter
We sent a follow up letter to LLM regarding the results of impact survey done previously. The residents are eager to know when any conclusion can be derived. Here is the hopeful letter.
KL-Putrajaya highway opens!
Posted by sripetaling.net in News & Developments on December 25th, 2007
The KL-Putrajaya highway is finally open for traffic on Dec 23, 2007. The highway which stretches 26km from Putrajaya to Kuala Lumpur will add convenience and reduce the travelling time between KL and Putrajaya and subsequently to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). From the Putrajaya exit, there is two options to go to KLIA. You can either use the ELITE highway which you will need to pay the highway toll of RM4.30 for cars or an alternative free road via Dengkil road.
The highway will be free to use until Jan 13, 2008.
Hand over inspection by DBKL
Posted by sripetaling.net in Citizen Suffers, Correspondences, News & Developments, Residents Actions on November 17th, 2007
Letter of issues outstanding
YB and DBKL visited Jalan 2/149 pn Nov 16 2007, Friday morning. The purpose is to ensure all things are in order before approving the hand-over of Jalan 2/149 back to DBKL by Maju Holdings (concessionaire for the highway). However, there are still some unresolved issues with regards to the current traffic, noise and safety. The residents wanted DBKL to ensure these issues are resolved before approving the hand-over.
The inspection team came and greeted by the residents reps and the concessionaire. We highlighted the current issues as per our last request which was not fulfilled. No conclusion could be obtained and the handover of the road back to DBKL could not proceed.

——————————————
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.

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

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?
