By : DATUK LEE HWA BENG, State assemblyman for Subang Jaya
The extension of the Putra line from Kelana Jaya to Subang Jaya will ease traffic in these areas.
I REFER to the letter by Moaz Yusuf Ahmad ("
I think we all agreed that the extension of the Putra line from Kelana Jaya to Subang Jaya and the Star line from Bukit Jalil to Puchong will ease traffic in these areas. When both extensions were announced by the federal government last year, I held consultations with residents on the best route to Subang Jaya.
A memo was then prepared and given to the Transport Ministry. I had also requested through the Subang Jaya Municipal Council and Petaling District Office to have more detailed discussions on these two extensions. Sadly, Syarikat Prasarana, the company appointed by the government, refused to meet us.
They said they would meet us after the cabinet granted its approval.
However, I am doubtful any change will be accepted once the cabinet approves the plan.The LRT extensions are to benefit residents in Subang Jaya and Puchong.
Hence, the government or any agency appointed must consult the residents concerned. Otherwise, I fear we will have a repeat of the Putra and Star lines where some stops are not properly located.
