Last Monday morning, I held a press conference with the residents of Sri Petaling to express our objection towards DBKL’s approval of the renovation and extension of a house into a 3 to 4-storey bungalow in the double-storey residential area.<\/p>\n

The residents are very\u00a0 concerned that the construction is illegal, and that it is unsafe since the foundation of the building is meant for 2 storeys, not 3 or 4 storeys!<\/p>\n

The Sri Petaling residents who were very unhappy about this construction screamed at the house owner and his lawyer. The houseowner took photos of whoever came close to them. He told us that the gathering is illegal under the police act.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His lawyer produced the approval letter that he received from DBKL date 12 July 2010. This was something the residents and I had not been informed about. That’s why the house owner was unhappy that we had organised this press conference.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

He invited us to go inspect his house which is midway construction to show to us that its not meant for commercial purpose as the residents had suspected. And that it doesn’t have 14 rooms but 9 rooms.<\/p>\n

According to his lawyer, the bungalow is meant for 4 generations of the family to stay there.<\/p>\n

The houseowner also reminded me that he is my supporter and that he voted for me in the last election. To that, I let the houseowner know that the construction of his home is causing many complaints from the residents and I have to handle because it’s my duty as a wakil rakyat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

I also let him know know that my concern in this issue is not to target you but DBKL for approving this building in the first place. How could DBKL have approved it when there have been so much objection from the local community, which DBKL seems to have ignored and not addressed at all? The residents have organised signature campaigns, sent letters and reminder letters to DBKL without any response. That’s why the residents’ approached me and so I have to help them.<\/p>\n

My statement to the press was that I find that there is something very wrong with the planning department of DBKL. They seem to approve whatever people apply for at whatever height or density that they like.<\/p>\n

This includes the proposed high-rise condo in Kuchai Entrepreneur’s Park<\/a> directly opposite Dynasty Garden condo which has only one exit road. DBKL has not widened the road and yet they’ve approved this high density condo in an already crowded area. For this case, I too came out to protest with the residents twice.<\/p>\n

In Salak South, DBKL approved the extension of a shophouse onto the road reserve<\/a>. This shows that there is lack of uniformity in DBKL planning and creates a lot of discomfort and inconvenience within the community. I blame this upon DBKL and I will speak up against it in parliament, and write a letter of complaint to the datuk bandar.<\/p>\n

Since DBKL is creating such problems, maybe some of their planning officers need be removed or transferred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
