Residents Say Still Waiting For Pjd Link Documents

---

They say the Selangor government has yet to hand over these documents despite a one-month deadline given by the High Court in March.
Petaling Jaya residents had sought to commence judicial review proceedings against the state and federal governments over the controversial PJD Link project.PETALING JAYA: Residents in Petaling Jaya have urged the Selangor government to honour a High Court decision for it to hand over key documents related to the proposed Petaling Jaya Dispersal (PJD) Link project
In March, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered the state government to hand over the documents within a month. In a statement today, though, the residents said they had yet to receive them.
“This leaves the residents of PJ anxious and displeased with the Selangor government and its unwillingness to stop this absurd project.
“We demand that the Selangor government honour the court’s decision and hand over key documents related to the proposed PJD Link project to the four Petaling Jaya residents immediately,” they said.
The residents – T Chakaravarthi, Kum Koo Ji, S Saktiseelan and Loke Yin Pong – had sought to commence judicial review proceedings against the state and federal governments over the controversial project.
High Court judge Amarjeet Singh granted their judicial review bid in parts, ordering the state government to disclose the social impact assessment, environment impact assessment, and traffic impact assessment reports – documents previously submitted by the project developer, PJD Link (M) Sdn Bhd.
He also instructed the state government to provide residents with the detailed design and alignment of the highway project.
However, he dismissed the residents’ request for the concession agreement between PJD Link and the federal government.
Eight groups endorsed the joint statement, including BK5 Kinrara Residents Against PJD Link, Gerakan Menentang Penilaian Tebuk Atap, Petaling Jaya Parti Sosialis Malaysia, Persatuan Penduduk Seksyen 20, and Persatuan Penduduk Suria Kinrara.
The statement was also endorsed by over 30 individual residents. - FMT
