Work on LRT started in BK 3?

Some of the residents may be wondering when they see workers starting to do some work at BK 3 area. Has work on LRT started?

The workers are actually doing some soil investigation to estimate the depth of piles required for LRT construction work. It is some kind of preliminary work to any type of construction.

So it a way, yes, the construction work has started for the new LRT extension.

Many residents may also notice some tents set up by the workers. The workers are actually "camping" at our area while doing their work.

At the "camp site" the Bangladeshi workers cook and eat their meals, take bath, wash and hang their clothes between the trees to dry. I don't know how people can live in such a condition, but this is how some of the foreign workers are treated in our country, while trying to make our lives better.

Camp site?

The talk between SPNB (Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad) and the residents is still on. While the residents are still waiting for an answer from them regarding our concern, one has to wonder if they have quietly gone ahead and stick to their original plan.

Let's hope that is not the case.
