Recently in an e-group forum, a group of residents express genuine concern over the alleged conversion of the proposed land development behind Bomba (at Pusat Bandar Puchong) from Semi-D into SOHO.
However, some irresponsible persons who claim to be resident leaders level baseless allegations against the JKP 16 for 'play-acting', not transparent with residents and getting a share out of the development project.
Today JKP 16 went to the site (behind Bomba) to check it out whether the SOHO project is commencing. We took a few pictures of that site. No sign board about the project was to be found.
We sought the councilor for clarification and the following is the feedback :
"....
. The councilor has investigated the case, it is not true as what has written. There are people who are trying to make things complicated and to get credit out of it.
. The developer resubmit the application to amend the KM to convert from Semi-D to SOHO, it will only be tabled in the next OSC, (december 2010) we have never approved the conversion at this stage.
.After studying the case, the application cannot be approved in next OSC because :
1) The RT is Residential. They can't convert it to SOHO.
2) TIA for Persiaran wawasan cannot cope up with the high traffic if it is converted to high density apt. I have asked engineering dpt to put this comment in the ulasan.
3) Public hearing? - it is not relevant at this stage, since technically it cannot be approved.
..."
Our fervent hope is that residents should not listen to irresponsible persons who claim to be RESIDENT LEADERS and representing the interest of the penduduk but actually gave misleading information.
When in doubt, we advise residents to always check and clarify with councilor or MPSJ, or setup a dialogue between residents and MPSJ/councilor.
