6 Months down the road

9 pm -

In conjunction to 6th month of Bukit Antarabangsa landslide tragedy, a dear friend Sheila, someone I call 'woman with a heart of gold' called me to ask "how's the going" and if there are issues to be addressed or highlighted in the media. I am very much thankful to her for the fact that she still remembers. I am not sure how many of us do. Somehow I am conscious over the number 6! Sheila focuses on the overall issues from grievances to forthcoming. After my teleconversation with her, I spoke to 2 chairmen from 2 adjacent neighbourhood to the landslide. Syed Bokhari (Impian Selatan condo) and Farid Faiz (Taman Bukit Jaya - 8 houses evacuated).

Issues concerned (Wangsa 9):

1. JKR- lack of communication with residents though assurance was given that we can count on them - with recent collapsed stadium in Terengganu which was under JKR- how to restore confidence to the general public especially to 44 evacuees waiting to go home?
2. Residents are concerned and would like to know about the cracks that appear after stabilizing job on failed slope commenced.
3. Case on a house buyer, a foreigner whose outfront payment was forfeited due to housing loan was being withdrawn by bank.

Thank you and regards,
