THE connecting road between Bandar
Puteri and Taman Puchong Hartamas in
Puchong will be completed by midnext
month.
The
developers, IOI Properties Berhad and
Capital Land Sdn Bhd, agreed to this
deadline during a meeting with Subang
Jaya council.
Each party
also agreed to bear the cost of
construction work, estimated at
RM510,000, for their respective stretch,
which is 200m for IOI Properties, 100m
for
Capital
Land
and 50m for
the local council.
The
meeting was chaired by council deputy
president Mohamad Yusoff Ghazali and
overseen by Kinrara assemblyman Teresa
Kok.
At a meeting in 2001, it was agreed that
both companies would contribute
RM250,000 each to the council to build
the road. However, only Capital Land
paid while IOI Properties refused by
referring to the Development Order which
specified the construction of the road
was the sole responsibility of Capital
Land.
Capital
Land also refused to built on IOI
Properties land and instead built an
another access road, Jalan Bakawali.
Said
Mohamad Yusoff : "We've finally reached
an amicable settlement that should
benefit everybody. especially
residents." Kok, also State Investment,
Industry and Commerce Committee
chairman, was glad the matter had
finally been resolved.
"This
is just one of many missing links in
Puchong. I hope in the future to find
ways to build more interlinking roads
between parts of Puchong," she said.
