On 30 April 2019 I attended a talk by Petaling Jaya residents rights activist Mak Khuin Weng at the Section 14, Petaling Jaya Residents Association cabin.
Mak Khuin Weng is a former journalist and a former Petaling Jaya City Councillor for three terms and some of what he said is in his Facebook posting below the picture.
Mak also told us that the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) keeps on adding new projects to the Petaling Jaya Masterplan, when once decided upon, these masterplans which have a date should be frozen and not be added to.
Also, whilst the MBPJ gives residents the opportunity to formally file objections to the MBPJ, however it is very difficult for residents to obtain detailed documents related to the proposal, so find it difficult to put forward a credible objection and that is the same case with filing credible objections to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and residents in neighbouring Kuala Lumpur, which is adjacent to Petaling Jaya face the same problem as us.
Thus we residents have to firefight to defend our interests.
Well, all this under Pakatan Harapan state and federal governments, which we who voted for them had hoped that they would stand by us.
Well it looks like whoever we vote for, the government won and screws us just the same, whether Pakatan Harapan or Barisan Nasional.
This s what Mak wrote one year ago.

It's April 2018 and Pakatan Harapan still haven't taken a stand on their Transit Oriented Development Policy that was revealed in January due to a proposal to redevelop the A&W PJ.
Just to recap, in January this year, MBPJ approved a plot ratio 8 development on the A&W PJ site using TOD rules. This rule has not been formally adopted yet and the existing limitations is a plot ratio of 4.
Although the DAP ADUNs and Councillors staged a dramatic walkout of the MBPJ full board meeting in protest of the development, they still said that TOD rules are valid, although they have not explained when or how MBPJ adopted the TOD rules.
If you want the specifics, there will be links to my previous posts at the bottom.
Today's post is actually about how MBPJ cheated all of us back in 2012 even before they had a formal consideration of the TOD rules to increase development plot ratio from 4, and that evidence comes from the One-Way Loop Interim Report.
According to the report, one of the many justifications for the One-Way Loop was to make traffic smoother for development projects that had been approved in 2012. I have attached Pages 12, 13 and 14 for you to read.
Out of those 'committed projects' that necessitated the One-Way Loop, two of the projects had a plot ratio of 6. Both were projects near the Asia Jaya LRT Station. This was the precursor to the TOD Rules that they didn't even bother telling anyone about. They just quietly did it and then used the approved development projects to justify the One-Way Loop project.
I presented this at the RTPJ1 Hearing in July 2015 when MBPJ wanted to amend the local plan. Of course, my arguments were ignored, even though there was a blatant disregard by MBPJ when it came to enforcing their own rules.
This is one of the many reasons why I'm supporting a BN candidate now.
Mr Tan Gim Tuan actually spoke up against this sort of nonsense too: https://www.thestar.com.my/…/review-decision-on-much-talke…/
You can read more about how MBPJ screwed us over with the TOD rules in these previous posts:
