Site Visit For Alternative Location For Comm-tower - 28 Feb 2012

In pursuant for a new site for the installation of the comm-tower, Yong and I participated for site visiting with YB Teresa, Dato’ Tan (IOI), Esmond Khor (Snr Project Manager, IOI), Datuk Ghani (Airspace), En. Officer from maxis, Digi, Celcom and En. Azmi (MPSJ) at 11.00 AM today.

Various sites were visited but thus far still no finding of the best location neither in Puteri 12 nor in Puteri 11.

Numerous suggestions were made as follows:

1. At the hilltop behind P12 bungalows
2. At the empty piece of land situated behind P12 guardhouse at the access road
3. At the hilltop facing Puteri 11 (where IJM’s project is)
4. In front of the water tank between Puteri 11 and Puteri 12

Elaboration:

1. The hilltop behind P12 Bungalows
   Asiaspace said it is not the best location as residents of the bungalows and of Puteri 11 will not receive well the signal besides it is too steep for work to carry out.
   Datuk Ghani has instructed his team to necessitate a thorough check, study and to prepare him a report before affirming the use of this site.
   
2. At the empty land situated behind P12 guardhouse (where Digi tower situated before)
   IOI refused neither to provide land nor is to rent it to Asiaspace because their future project on this piece of land for bungalows although both YB Teresa and Datuk Ghani have instigated their requested to Dato' David Tan.
   
3. At the hilltop facing Puteri 11 (IJM’s property)
   There is no right scale of land for the tower because IJM is building a clubhouse on scale at large.
   
4. Next to the water tank situated at the access road between P12 and P11
   P11 Chairman raised the point that this might affect residents of Jalan Puteri 11/13.
   This location might not be suitable as Asiaspace fears that residents of P12 (facing towards P9) will not be able to receive good and active signal.
   

In view of all the difficulties in getting a proper location which affects nobody, YB Teresa then suggested to Datuk Ghani if it is possible to plant the tower in the rainforest.

Datuk Ghani said they can look into this possibility but YB will have to obtain the grant for them.

Hence instantly YB Teresa instructed En. Azmi (Perancang Bandar MPSJ) to prepare the necessary documents and to submit the application immediately.

Prior to this, she requested Datuk Ghani to postpone the court hearing to allow her the sufficient time to proceed with the application procedures.

Datuk Ghani agreed to YB’s request but they will eventually continue with the legal proceeding if Local Authority rejected the application.

We must thank YB Teresa for her great interest and contribution to provide an optimum quality of life to the people of Puteri 12 and 11 respectively.

Owing to this, she burdened herself with a big and important task to obtain approval from the Local Government to have the Tower built in the Air Itam Rainforest and will do her utmost best in achieving it.

Even if she fails to obtain the approval, we all shall be appreciative because at least she tried.

We also have to thank Datuk Ghani for rendering a great amount of consideration for all of us and to further delay his project.

Let’s us all be more optimistic and hope for the best ever for everyone who lives around here.

Regard,
Alice Choo
Chairman
