I was interviewed by Sin Chew (Chinese media) too last week and the article appeared on Saturday 25 Apr where my feedback is residents are rather contented with the progression of work. What is still lacking is the technical communication from between JKR and residents. We have been advised not to intervene with their work and leave this to JKR which will deliver the job in qualified standard of requirement.
As on Tuesday 28 April, house owners from Wangsa 9 discovered cracks on their properties which only happened after the remedial work started by HCM. The cracks were not there before. We would like to know WHO and HOW are they going to make good of the houses? Is the stabilization work on the failed slope been carried out to the standard of expectation? What are the causes of the new cracks? Reason being as a layman's point of view, the cracks appeared due to earth movement. Apart from soil nailing on the failed slope, there suppose be micro pile on the whole stretch of Wangsa 9. This understanding was given to us in JKR BRIEFING in Menara MPAJ on 26 February 2009. To date we have not seen machinery set up for that. The failed area is an area by itself, can micro pile start at the other end of Wangsa 9 ? We were told that with proper progression of work 44 households would be able to go back to their homes by OCTOBER this year. We would like to appeal again to the MINISTRY OF WORKS and with our newly appointed Minister to address our concerns of our problems.
Thank you and regards,
YENHEE
