Resolved: Road hump installed at Persiaran Wawasan before Wawasan 4 entrance

On 14th Auguest 2010, JKP 16 member reported that a 2nd road hump was installed recently at Persiaran Wawasan just before the entrance to Wawasan 4. Earlier a road hump was installed just right before the T-junction of Persiaran Wawasan/Wawasan 3/7. These humps were installed as a result of resident feedback that vehicles were driven very fast along Persiaran Wawasan. Also, the residents had had a hard time coming out from Wawasan 3 and 4 and a few accidents and near-misses had occurred at these 2 spots.

We hope that the new humps will deter people from speeding recklessly. JKP 16 would like to take this opportunity to thank MPSJ and particularly Encik Ariffuddin who has diligently followed up on this matter.

YB Gobind walkaround in Pusat Bandar Puchong commerical area

Resolved: Jalan Wawasan 4/6 Repavement

The 350-foot long Jalan Wawasan 4/6 was finally paved today 14th August 2010. Today's road paving project culminated a few months of preparation between Wawasan 4 RA, JKP and MPSJ using MARRIS fund. Owing to budget constraint, this stretch of Jalan Wawasan 4/6 was chosen for repavement as it's in far bad shape compared to other Wawasan 4 roads.

The thickness of repavement is approx. 2 inches. W4 RA representatives Mr. Seah, Mr. Soong and Mr. Desmond were on site together with councilor Tan Jo Hann to inspect the road repavement work. The W4 representatives showed great camaraderie when they were on site earlier to help coordinate traffic flow in and out of this road so to allow contractors to pave the road with minimal obstruction.

When asked for comment, Mr. Seah said he was glad that the road is finally resurfaced and thanked the W4 RA, JKP, MPSJ and particularly councillor Tan Jo Hann for diligently following-up this request in the past few months.

Councillor Tan Jo Hann said that MPSJ and JKP will continue to monitor roads that are in bad shape in Zone 16, and if required will make submission to MPSJ (via MARRIS fund) to resurface those roads.

Saujana Puchong cemetery plan revoked

Taken from KomunitiKini at http://komuniti.malaysiakini.com/news/saujana-puchong-cemetery-plan-revoked

by Leven Woon on 23 Jul, 2010

Residents of Saujana Puchong were relieved to hear that a contentious plan to build a cemetery on an Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve plot was shelved. Instead the plot was officially gazetted as part of the forest reserve.

The endorsement was signed two days ago by Selangor clerk Mohamad Yasid Bidin declaring the 55 acres of land in front of Jalan SP 10/1A as an “extension” of Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve under section 7 of the National Forestry Act 1984.

At a press conference at the site today, Kinara assemblyperson Teresa Kok pointed out signage that designated the plot as part of the forest reserve, which was built on the site following the decision.

“Gobind and I have promised to help the residents when we ran for election in 2008. The process took us some time but we are glad that we finally gazetted it,” she said.

The previous BN state government had designated the area as a cemetery in 2001, allocating 55 acres of land in Ayer Hitam and later including it into the MPSJ draft plan in 2007.

The residents protested the move. They claimed a cemetery with close proximity to their homes would inconvenience them.

Residents to drop court case
United Puchong Resident Association chairman Chik Chun welcomed the revocation, said it is “good news after much delay”.

“We did not agree with the plan because (this) is a residential area,”

Saujana Puchong Signature Campaign Teamwork (STC) chairman Lee Wai Hong said he will wait until the formal documents are released to drop the court case against the Selangor government.

“We brought them to court in 2004. Maybe we can reach an out-of-court settlement now,” he said.

When asked whether they will continually demand for a road to Equine Park, Lee said it is up to the government.

“The road was promised by Saujana developer Talam. We were cheated by Talam not state government,” Lee said.

“Lesson learnt” in zoning cemetery
Teresa said the intention to build a cemetery at Petaling district was practical, but poor planning and coordination skewered the move.

“The town planning is such that every district must have a cemetery. So when they drafted the Petaling development plan 20 years ago, they should have gazetted it as cemetery land.

“With this, developers and house buyers would be informed and avoided such areas.

“But they only approved the conversion of land in 2002. Residents who had already bought a house (or) lived there would of course not be happy,” said the assemblyperson.

She said the case which caused a six-year protest among residents is a “lesson learnt” for the Selangor Pakatan government.

“We brought up the issue many times in exco meetings. Selangor really needs more cemeteries and we are finding a replacement for (Saujana Puchong), probably somewhere in Sepang.

“We will do proper zoning and notify the people earlier.”

MPSJ Air Hitam Meeting 25th June 2010

Recently a certain individual has been writing untruthful things about me as the local councilor for Pusat Bandar Puchong and also irresponsibly spreading these lies through his egroup about how I had acted towards him in MPSJ on Friday June 25th 2010 after a meeting regarding the "rayuan pembangunan untuk projek cssb dan pmssb - at the hutan simpan ayer hitam" (the hillslope development by Citrasama and Benua Ehsan on PNSB land.).

His version sounded like this:
He accused me of saying he was not welcomed to the meeting and that he did not represent any association and that I had asked him to “get out' from the room”. He also claimed that at that time he was “attack by some people” that he did not know but they claimed they were from Wawasan 4.

He also claimed that he wrote his name onto the attendance list as asked by a senior MPSJ Officer (But I later checked with this officer and found out that no such thing happened and in fact this said person was not even on the list of invited persons for that particular meeting).

This person also claimed that I had abused him verbally and kicked him out of the meeting room saying he was not welcomed, and that he was not staying in Pusat Bandar Puchong and so forth..

The real version (witnessed by at least 7 people):
We started a little after 3pm and actually concluded at about 4:30pm. This “person” walked in when everyone was standing around drinking tea and chatting with each other. He called to me from behind and I greeted him and even shook his hand.

After a few minutes as I was leaving with some residents (from Wawasan 4, Sri Penanga, Bayan Hills, and some others), we caught him trying to sign his name onto the attendance sheet when in fact he did not even attend the meeting. I then asked him what he was doing because it is standard procedure that if someone has not participated in a meeting that person cannot sign his name on the attendance sheet. I told him he cannot do that, it is improper procedure. (For that matter, he was not even on the list of invitees and did not receive an official invitation letter.)

I then left the room and got into my car. All this happened in a matter of seconds...not even minutes. There were at least 7 eyewitnesses from the residents and MPSJ staff who can attest to what really happened then.

This person was obviously surprised that we caught him trying to commit an illegal act of falsifying his attendance in a meeting he was not invited to and let alone trying to sign the attendance sheet. Thus he has created these stories to cover up for his guilty actions.

This type of unnecessary “drama” is actually distracting us from the truth at hand which is the issue of the hill slope development project on Air Hitam. All these while the issue has been consistently discussed and dealt with by the real resident representatives, MPSJ council, elected representatives YB Gobind, YB Teresa Kok and the respective local councilors according to the proper procedures as instructed by Lembaga Rayuan Kerajaan Negeri Selangor. The latest developments have recently been clarified and explained in the mass media. There is no development on top of the hill and the developers are still appealing to the State appeal Board “Lembaga Rayuan” and the process is being investigated. (Refer to news cutting in JKP blog).

This kind of habitual lying will definitely help no one except for those who intentionally want to spread them for whatever reasons which fail my comprehension! I appeal to fair minded and concerned residents not to listen to lies and please do not be made used of by irresponsible people. If you have queries go to the right people at the MPSJ, your elected ADUNs or MPs, your local councilor and the JKP appointed to deal with local issues in your area. There is much to do to improve the development of Pusat Bandar Puchong!

Tan Jo Hann,
