Demolition of a Mystery Tower


A huge “mystery” tower set up recently at Jalan Sri Hartamas 1 was brought down by KL city hall this morning using two cranes following complaints from neighboring residents of Duta Nusantara and after my letter of enquiry sent to the director general of city hall. Government personnel from many agencies were involved in this “legitimate” demolition including officers from TNB, JKR and the police. In fact, I highlighted the construction of the tower to the residents’ group of Duta Nusantara on 1st January to which its chairman told me that the structure was meant to be a clock tower under city hall landscape plan as this was what they were informed by JKR and city hall and the chairman thanked me for my concern. However, the residents’ group later realised that they have been played out or rather cheated or conned when the near completed tower was clearly in the shape of a telecommunications tower! It ain’t over just yet by bringing down the tower, city hall must follow up by lodging a police report against the culprit telecommunications company and its contractor for trespassing into state’s land which is a criminal offence punishable with imprisonment under 441 of our Penal Code 1997.

The Aftermath of Flash Floods 2009

Local resident, M.Govin and I at Segambut Estate Hindu Temple where the statue of God was destroyed by floods

Yesterday morning I went to inspect the areas affected by the day before flash floods. The aftermath scenes were the usual muddy floors, water-soaked furniture, damaged household electrical appliances, need-to-be overhauled motor vehicles, and dirty laundries/carpets until I saw a saddened panorama of a destroyed Hindu temple at Segambut Estate, its statue of God was nearly washed off by the waist-deep flood water. Mr M.Govin, a local resident who accompanied me there was almost in tears when he asked me what is to be done. I’m speechless… DBKL please tell me, what is to be done?
