Today 26 Dec 2008 Councilor Tan Jo Han together with the IOI management Mr Esmond and his engineer, the MPSJ Engineering team led by Encik Adnan Director of Engineering Department, community leaders, Mr David Yap & Jacky Teh (RA BP7), Mr William (Sri Camelia apartments), and Sargeat Matsood, Ketua Balai of BP went for a site visit at the Columbia Asia Hospital road junction of Lebuh Puteri. This is a follow-up visit of the accident site involving a motorcycle and a car that took place on 23 Dec 2008.

Full story also reported at Acacia Puteri 7 RA blog.

Tan Jo Hann's statement reproduced verbatim :

"Today I visited the site of the numerous accident at the junction right outside Columbia Hospital at Bandar Puteri. A meeting was held there together with the IOI management Mr Esmond and his engineer; the MPSJ Engineering team led by Enc Adnan Director of Engineering Department, community leaders, Mr David Yap & Jacky Teh (RA BP7), Mr William (Sri Camelia apartments), and Sargeat Matsood, Ketua Balai of BP.

After much extensive discussions & exploration here is what was decided collectively:
1. Immediately to cut the low bushes obstructing vision all along the island stretch on that portion of the Lebuh Puteri road.

2. The existing speed breakers on both sides of the road in the vicinity of the junction outside Columbia Hospital will be thickened to slow down speeding vehicles.

3. It was also decided that these immediate measures will be completed latest by January 5th 2009.

4. Meanwhile IOI traffic consultants will immediately do further study of the situation to ascertain the possibility of setting up wide road humps on both side of the road, and also the installation of a traffic lights at the junction in question.

5. The findings should be completed latest by the end of January 2009 and will be forwarded to the MPSJ "Jawatan Kuasa" on Infrastructure for approval and to be carried out by IOI (The roads are still under the management of IOI as it is not yet handed over to the MPSJ)

With these measures in place we hope and plead that all parties especially the motorists and general public will cooperate to ensure road safety is top priority!

Accident at Lebuh Puteri near Columbia Asia Hospital road junction

An accident involving a motorcycle and a car happened on 23 Dec 2008 around 11:30 am at the road junction near Columbia Asia Hospital. Motorists are advised to drive/ride carefully and be extra vigilant while passing this junction.

Meanwhile MPSJ Zone 16 Councilor Mr. Tan Jo Hann is working closely with MPSJ, IOI and JKP 16 to find an effective solution to tackle this dangerous junction.

"The road junction at the Columbia Asia Hospital is of great concern to many of us as there has been regular accidents there. We have been examining the situation since last month and have been liasing with MPSJ road engineers and also IOI management personnel. Yesterday a rather serious accident happened involving a motorcycle and a car, the victim on the bike was quite seriously injured. I have been liasing with IOI and MPSJ to explore possibly installing traffic lights at the critical juntion, or temporarily closing the opening in the middle of the road which vehicles use for u-turns. Nevertheless all 3 parties (MPSJ, IOI, JKP zonw 16) are working together to resolve this once and for all, unnecessary accidents and injuries to life and property", added Tan Jo Hann.

Integrated Children's Playground Installed at Taman Wawasan










A new integrated children's playground equipment was installed at Taman Wawasan a few days ago. This is because of the increasing number of children visiting this taman from Pusat Bandar Puchong, Bandar Puteri Puchong and nearby residential areas.

Through the close collaboration and good relations between JKP 16 and the Landscape department of MPSJ, this integrated children playground is being realised in Taman Wawasan.

Thank you to JKP 16 and Landscape department of MPSJ!

More pictures to come....

Why road hump is not installed at downhill stretch of Jalan Serindit-Persiaran Wawasan link?

JKP 16 were aware of the steep downhill gradient stretch towards Jalan Serindit 1. Additionally, vehicles negotiating the sharp corner turning into Jalan Serindit 1 have to be extra careful because of oncoming traffic.


Because it was dangerous while driving steep downhill gradient towards Jalan Serindit 1, JKP 16 had proposed to MPSJ by installing a speed breaker i.e. road hump. The intention was to encourage vehicles to slow down before negotiating the sharp corner.


MPSJ dispatched its engineering department staff to the site for feasibility study. After much study, the MPSJ engineers reported that it would be more dangerous installing a road hump. This is because on a steep downhill gradient, cars may overturn if they brake suddenly at the road hump. And the overturn cars may end up across the metal railing onto the drain!


JKP 16 agree with the MPSJ engineers' findings about the drawback of installing a road hump at the downhill stretch. As an alternative, MPSJ has painted more thermoplastic yellow lines at the sharp cornering.


Before (13 August 2008): Pictures below.





After - MPSJ has drawn addtional thermoplastic yellow lines towards the sharp corner (18 Nov 2008). Pictures below.




JKP 16 would like to remind drivers to drive slowly and carefully at all times since the thermoplastic yellow lines are painted at the downhill strecth.
