Letter to MPAJ - follow up

Dear Ir Hj Zolkeflee,

Ref.: Follow Up of Issues Proposed by Residents of Wangsa 9, Bkt. Antarabangsa

With reference to our tele-conversation on Tuesday (12th January 2010), these are the following issues the residents would like to propose. These issues have prior been highlighted to the attention of Encik Othman bin Idris on 28th October 2009. We take this opportunity to thank you on a cordial meeting we had with your department on the 28th October 2009, with the presence of Puan Noor Azaliah binti Hassan, Encik Rojohar Salleh and Encik Amran Ismail (Jabatan Perbandaran). Encik Othman has now been transferred to MPS, we hope you will be able to continually support our requests as listed below:

1. To represent us as an official communication channel to liaise with all related authorities in particular JKR.
2. We would like to know a definite date for evacuees to go back to their homes.
   The respective designs on the failed slope by JKR.
3. Security – some immediate measures need to be looked into seriously since there has been several breaking-ins. The last one just occurred on the first week of January this year. All water meters on Jalan Wangsa 9 have also been stolen as on the 2nd of January 2010. All evacuees are very concerned with their properties being invaded by strangers.
4. Waver of quit rent and land assessment for the year 2010.
5. Lightings on Jalan Wangsa 9 – spots lights which were installed previously, only two are working. If more lights are installed, the place will be lit up better hence will deter intruders from taking opportunities on the abandoned houses.
6. Temporary supply of water and electricity for general upkeeping since the house has been abandoned for more than one year.
7. Recompact and repave the new road for the other half of Jalan Wangsa 9 (further proposal on this will be written in to your attention again).
8. Proposal of underground cables – please refer to the letter dated 21st Oct 2009 as attached.
9. Landscaping of proper fencing and trees that needed to be pruned once the properties ready for habitation.

I look forward to meeting you tomorrow (14th January 2010) in your office to discuss further on the issues above.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

YENHEE
Committee Member & Spokeswoman for Wangsa 9

Update & Follow Up W9

About 12.35 pm, I have spoken to TYDP MPAJ after failing to get hold of En Othman.

1. Need to know the outcome of the clogged drain and at the backyard of Wangsa 9 and 7. No respond from En Othman after my sms to him on 19 October (1 week ago). On Sunday 25 October, I was in Wangsa 9 and called up hotline MPAJ after receiving another complaint from House 28, Wangsa 7. I was in Wangsa 9 this morning and no action has been taken to rectify the complaints.
2. Informed TYDP on the letter submitted to MPAJ 1 week ago (by Bismi, House 11 Wangsa 9) on 'underground cables tel/TNB'
3. Met up with En Azmi, who is manning the ICU office at Jalan Bukit Antarabangsa. There is a lot to iron out on who is to follow up on what. It is quite clear that there's poor integration in coordination among leaders here and I would just hope everyone who does it has sincere intention to save Bukit Antarabangsa.
4. Work on failed slope is progressing but rather slowly. We are still awaiting for a definite answer and commitment on when residents are allowed to go home.

Thank you and regards,

Maintenance of Backyard Drains W9-Attn to En Othman Idris, MPAJ

Morning En Othman. I am YenHee, representative of Wangsa 9 residents. I have just spoken to En Khairil on the clogged and non maintained drain at the back of Wangsa 9 which I have also received complaints from residence of Wangsa 7 . I would like to bring to your attention and would appreciate if you can get a team of workers to clean up the backyard which is not only filthy, snakes are also found to be staying since there are no occupants in Wangsa 9. It would be great if you could let me know when this can be arranged so that I can be on site too. Thank you for your kind attention. Selamat Hari Raya.

Thank you and regards,

October - General Updates

With reference to the above, the OCT RENTAL SUBSIDY is ready for collection. I hope residents who are entitled are now familiar with the payout. I have not been posting this notification in my blog as a constant monthly reminder because my constant follow up with MPAJ feedback from residents have been satisfactory. Well, I have to commend that MPAJ has generally improved in its service!

2. GENERAL MAINTENANCE OF WANGSA 9 - My earlier post has requested fellow neighbourhood to keep their backyards grass neat but not all of us are attending to it! Please, attend to it. 'Our' caretaker told me just this morning that king cobras were seen in backyard house 11 and store room house 45. This has to do with the extensive clearing in the front and these cobras are now inhabiting in our abandoned properties. Those who frequent their houses, please do look out.

3. SECURITY - Looters had been spotted occasionally in Wangsa 9. Ulu Kelang police station has dispatched frequent patrol in the area. Most recent incident, potted plants were taken away from House 31.

4. ELECTRIC CABLES which were dangling near emergency staircase (26 September 09) reported and followed up with MPAJ is now in the process of rectifying it.

5. FEES FOR GANESAN all updated to month of Oct- I have paid on your behalf, House 1 - 3 months, House 7 - 3 months, House 19 - 1 month, and House 37 - 4 months.

6. WANGSA HEIGHTS CONDO - According to MPAJ, rectification work will commence soon.

Thank you and regards,

Respond to Article on The Sun

Dear Wangsa 9 residents,

With reference to THE SUN PG4 today reported that we are happy with remedial work, few of Wangsa 9 owners are NOT AT ALL happy with the statement made by Dato Muniandy when:

1. Two houses had been broken in recently;
2. Remedial work slowed down - can we go back at the end of this year? Where many rental tenancy will expire, where many are still trying to adapt ourselves in rented places, rental places are not 'justifiable';
3. Cracks appeared after remedial work has started;
4. Issue on handling d job by JKR to MPAJ still in question.

All these claim that we are happy? Are we? Have the above been attended to? Maybe THE SUN should talk to the victims to understand the real situation. It is definitely UNFAIR for someone to put words in our mouth. I don't understand why the camouflage is for? We are already the victims and we don't want to be victims of any political advantages to any party. Kindly note.

C.c.: Dato Muniandy, Raymond, Chee.

Thank you and regards,

Star Interview 29Apr09 : Work Progress on W9 Failed Slope

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
