Meeting At Mpsj Regarding The Removed Comm-tower In Puteri 12

Dear Residents,

This meeting was chaired by both YB Teresa Kok and Mr. Tan Jo Hann, our Councilor.

Those who attended were Y.Bhg Datuk Abdul Ghani Abdullah and his entire technical team of Asiaspace, Puteri 12 RA committee members and their residents, Puteri 8 Chairman Datuk Samson, Puteri 9 Chairman Mr. Peter Lim, En. Azmi of MPSJ Perancang Bandar, Pengarah of Jabatan Undang-Undang MPSJ and five of us from Puteri 11 (Alice, Yong, Pua, Ms. Lum and Mr. Quek).

Encik Azmi initiated the meeting explaining the rules and regulations of the legalized Comm-Tower and the applications procedures complied by Asiaspace. He emphasized that they first received a complaint of the 1st structure build by Maxis from Puteri 12 residents in July 2011, and nonetheless the site was visited. Upon inspection they concluded that this Maxis comm-tower was illegally built and was not of the right specification. They then ordered to have it removed.

The new structure submitted by Asiaspace on the same spot has been approved on the same time in Mid-July.

When Puteri 12 residents’ complaint of this new construction carried out by Asiaspace, immediately MPSJ officer verified that this new structure is legal and safe as it is build more than 20 ft. away from their houses.

Today, Datuk Ghani emphasized his concern on the health safety of the people and was aware of the radiation negative impact on the residents and the build of this tower does comply with rules and regulations gazette for.

He said the radiation from the Microwave is in fact more hazardous to our health in comparing to the radiation of the comm-tower. This was agreed by our member Yong who is specializing in the same field and also our YB Teresa who elaborated the technology in Korea, which is far more advance than ours, where this Korean should suffer more with radiation, hence none has ever protested against it.

YB Teresa proposed to Asiaspace to look for an alternative or new location suitable for them to put up the tower, or to ask IOI to provide a place for it,

However, what was proposed by YB has been carried out by Asiaspace but their request was rejected by IOI. (letter of rejection was presented to YB).

Unfortunately, there is no achievement of a positive conclusion or compromises in this meeting with Puteri 12 RA/ residents as they were emotional and fearful of the impact from the radiation, which is right in some way. Moreover their Chairman only concentrates in his legal suits.

YB promised that she will personally liaise with IOI for a provision of land for this comm-tower because she fully understands our sufferings and losses for not having any signal or line for communication.

She highlighted to everyone that it is a must to have the Comm-Tower for communication fluency.

In view of this YB Teresa and Mr. Tan proposed to Asiaspace to look for an alternative suitable location again not only in Puteri 12 but also could consider Puteri 11 or any other Taman.

Owing to such circumstances and hoping to obtain our right to enjoy the line, we agreed with them for site visiting in Puteri 11 hoping to be able to locate the appropriate spot for this tower.

Yong and I (representing Puteri 11) will participate in the site visiting and to discuss the locality with Asiaspace, MPSJ, Mr. Tan and YB Teresa when found. Mr. Lim (P12 resident) and Mr. Ho (P12 Secretary) are representing Puteri 12 for this task.

Here may I stress that there is no such thing called perfection, but we could just do our best hoping to reduce more losses and to reach a minimal sufferings of every one of us, which we are facing every day.

Let’s keep our finger crossed for a good and sounding solution for both Puteri 11 and Puteri 12.

Regards,

Alice Choo

Chairman
