We are all very saddened by the landslide that took place on the 6th December 2008. On behalf of all residents of Wangsa 9, Bukit Antarabangsa, we would like to express our sincere condolences to victims who were directly or indirectly affected by the tragedy. The rescue operations have done what they have to do but it is very sad that no authorities have taken immediate attention to realize where it comes from. We, the residents of Wangsa 9, are in dire straits as certain part of Wangsa 9 has been caved in. Authorities should come up with remedial measures to prevent the slopes from further erosion. A lot of attention has been channeled to Bukit Mewah where the cause of the landslide has been overlooked. In fact, if Wangsa 9 is not immediately attended to, it will cause a more catastrophic effect to the whole of Bukit Antarabangsa. Realising this, Wangsa 9 residents would like the following queries to be addressed immediately. Please continue reading on questions posted in the meeting with TYDP of MPAJ. A request in black and white and signed by all residents was submitted to MPAJ after the discussion.
