PJ Residents Unhappy with MBPJ Approval of PJ Sentral

MBPJ have approved the Development Application by Gapurna for PJ
Sentral. There are some conditions attached but not enforceable in the
way the Approval has been written. Our concerns remain with the
inadequacy of the conditions, the considerable flaws in the Application/Approval,
and the weakness of the conditions.

We will continue with our actions to ensure transparency and that the rights and wishes of the PJ community are not overlooked or abused...including legal action if necessary.

Re : Keputusan Jawatankuasa Pusat Setempat (OSC )
Seksyen 52 . Lot 8 & Lot 12 . PKNS & PUNCAK WANGI S/B .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assalamualaikum .

We have been advised that the OSC has approved the Application “ KEBENARAN MERANCANG “ for lots 8 & 12 in Section 52 submitted by Asnatech Consult
on behalf of Puncak Wangi Sdn. Bhd , and PKNS .

We are totally shocked and disappointed with the decision especially as the OSC
would seem to have IGNORED the issues raised in our letter of June 23rd stating the need for a BALANCED, RESPONSIBLE and SUSTAINABLE development .
With the greatest of respect, 6000-9000 cars moving in and thru the vicinity every day, probably causing massive traffic congestion, as well as air & noise pollution, 6-lanes highways breaking the fabric of the community and displacing many homes, and rate payers money being used for the RM 92 million "regional access” cannot be anyone’s idea of fairness, progress nor "development".

This is not the development PJ residents want nor deserve .

MBPJ Councilors MUST rise to the occasion in their last meeting of their term and seize the the opportunity to act within their conscience and deep convictions for a lasting positive effect on the future of a LIVEABLE PJ CITY. Make a difference for a better PJ MBPJ must listen to the voices of the rate payers and ACT to protect our interests and “reject“ this OSC decision and / or , postpone the endorsement of this approval to a later Full Board meeting.

APAC sincerely hopes for a positive outcome to our appeal and must serve notice that we will go to all lengths, including legal action, to preserve and protect the interests and well being of the PJ rate payers .


Thank you .

Yours sincerely ,

PJ Residents Reject PJ Sentral

http://komuniti.malaysiakini.com/news/penduduk-pj-serah-memorandum-bantahan-seksyen-52

WHOSE INTEREST ARE BEING REPRESENTED ?

8 Tower blocks, 37 Floors High
Between PJ Hilton and PJ New Town
It will transform PJ .... in a way the residents DO NOT WANT

MBPJ "One Stop Centre" have APPROVED this development on Thursday 24th June despite STRONG OBJECTIONS from the 600,000 residents of PJ.

WHY ?

PJ Sentral Development Approved

The Residents Associations and APAC have not have any formal confirmation but we have been led to believe that the OSC having approved the PJ Sentral Development Application that the next step would be a 'confirmation' of that Approval in a Council meeting next Tuesday. At that time the Developer may proceed with their plans

We would urge PJ residents and communities to ensure that their opinions are voiced and heard. Use this BLOG, our Facebook or call your political representatives. They need to know what you feel and what you want.

MBPJ Accepts PJ Sentral Planning Application

We understand but are waiting for verification, that the "PJ Sentral" Planning Application has been accepted by the MBPJ One-Stop-Centre (OSC), subject to certain changes and conditions...but substantially accepted.

Make your opinion and concerns heard !
