today slammed the federal government-owned company for failing to
respond to the party’s inquiry over the safety aspects of all its
projects including the extension of Ampang and Kelana Jaya LRTs.
"Prasarana has been quite consistent in failing to provide an immediate response when it comes to the safety aspects of all its projects. ![]() He said that the residents’ concerns over the LRT project are being supported by experts like National Institute of Disaster Research chairman Prof Dr Tajul Anuar Jamaluddin. However, he said, the residents’ concerns are still being ignored up to this day although the Selangor state government has provided Prasarana with a proposal for a safer alternative route. The various safety issues highlighted by the residents include the rail tracks being too close to residential areas and abandoned quarries. ![]() "Therefore I urge the Selangor state government to implement tougher condition that will include the formation of a panel to look into the technical evaluation report provided by the expert consultant to ensure the safety of the people of Selangor," he said. He also called for the Pakatan Rakyat-led Selangor government to stop Prasarana from continuing with the project until the company has provided an explanation addressing these safety issues. "If ever that Prasarana failed to consider the demand, I urge the state government to use its power to ensure that Prasarana won't be able to continue with the project," he added. source- MD |
