Back to Drawing Board!


It is consensus opinion amongst BK3 residents who attended the dialogue in MPSJ yesterday that Prasarana should go back to drawing board again to restudy the alignment of the LRT track.
 
Prasarana should go back to drawing board

With the presence of YB Theresa Kok, residents who attended the dialogue pointed out no matter how difficult it is, it is still an engineer's job to find the best solution to realign LRT track back to the middle of Bukit Jalil highway. 

As it is now, Prasarana is just taking the easy way out without considering the negative impact the tracks will bring to the residents.

Although the residents found out from the dialogue station no. 5 is indeed canceled (now marked in the drawing as possible future expansion station), nothing has been done to the realignment of the LRT track.

There are other parties present who wanted the station back but they were easily out-numbered by the residents of BK 3. The support from the residents of BK3 has been incredible all this while, even after facing so many obstacles, including sacrificing their time during work hours to attend the dialogue yesterday.

Some proponent of station no. 5 also feel bad for the residents in BK3, and openly supported the effort to push for the realignment of the tracks as well. 

It is inconclusive at this moment whether station no. 5 will be brought back but judging from the presence of the supporters from various camps, BK3 residents definitely have the upper hand.

One clear message we are sending to them is there is no way BK3 residents can accept station no. 5 in our area without realignment of the LRT track.

Say no to LRT track on green lung


In a separate event, it is rather unfortunate some residence in KL have to face similar predicament as us here in BK 3 with the MRT alignment. Is Prasarana really bulldozing their way aruond? According to Ong Tee Keat, they certainly are (read the full article here).

Are they doing the same thing to us here in BK3? It certainly feels that way.

Update on LRT station no. 5 and track realignment

A quick update on the issue.

The state is having second thoughts on cancelling station no. 5. Apparently there are some parties who want the station to be put back at our area.

As with the realignment of the track, we haven't heard any more news on that since the last update.

With that in mind a meeting has been arranged by Mr. Gobind Singh and MPSJ for all parties to present their points.

We urge all the residents to show up up and support our effort to keep station no. 5 out of our area, and at the same time keep voice out our concern on the track in our green lung area.

THE MORE PEOPLE THE BETTER!

In order to show that we are serious what we want, please show up in full force to provide your support.
