Plans not in accordance with Town and Country Planning Act
BUKIT Antarabangsa resident Dr Mohamed Rafick Khan Abdul Rahman is against the proposed Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Expressway (SUKE) as he says plans were not drawn in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act 1976.
He added that procedures were not followed, including getting feedback in a set period of time followed by a public hearing.
“It is very clear they did not follow specifications in the Act. The highway isn’t even included in the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council masterplan but we were told the Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) has approved it.
“The purpose of building this highway is to reduce the congestion on the Middle Ring Road 2 (MRR2) and this can only be achieved if they correct the malalignment of the exit and entry routes. Right now the problem lies near the Flamingo Hotel near Jalan Ampang.
“The Public Works Department spent RM20mil near Pandan Indah and the situation there has changed. Instead of building a highway, they can opt to build an elevated route or even a tunnel.
“We cannot keep building more highways simply because these are supposed to improve the public transportation system,” he said.
