Another Hillside Storm Brewing
Looks like another hillside storm is brewing.
According to todays online edition of Malay Mail,
A STORM of controversy is brewing over two development projects in upscale Bangsar. One is a project that has been put on hold by the Federal Territories Ministry following safety concerns by residents.
The other, meanwhile, is causing consternation to residents over its ambitious development plan on a relatively small plot of land.
The decision on whether both projects receive the go-ahead from the authorities now hinge on the outcome of technical reports by the Public Works Institute of Malaysia (Ikram) and independent consultants.
The report does not give any details of this Bangsar project, though, like its exact location or developer. The other project mentioned is refering to the Damansara 21 project in Medan Damansara, which was in the public news because of a landslip on Aug 26 last year. Following the Dec 6 Bukit Antarabangsa tragedy, which killed six people and saw 14 houses destroyed, the FT Ministry issued a stop-work order on the Damansara 21 project.
Hopefully there will be more info in the coming days on this new Bangsar project.
