A reflection : 19 December 2004 was the day the residents of
Lorong Terasek Kanan
lost in their protests against commercial development on the
piece of vacant land
fronting their houses.
The residents of Lorong Terasek Kanan including some from the
Bangsar Business
Council were invited to a meeting with Lembah Pantai MP Dato
Sharizat at her office;the director of Makibra Services Sdn Bhd
(Developer) was also present and so was Datuk
George Joseph (Bangsar Baru Residents Association
President).
Well now the picture looks like everyone was in a happy mood. I
think the residents weredistracted into having a tea session with
the MP who were sympathetic to what was
happening at the vacant residential land and being the friendly
MP that she was, I think
for that short period the residents were de-stressed to an
extent. In reality nothing goodcame out of the meeting; the
residents lost the fight and the developer bull-dozed
development onto the land.
Prior to the meeting, the MP went over to the site in Bangsar
Baru to see the situation in
place. Ng Tee Heng (one of the affected resident) briefed the MP
as one of the other
directors of Makibra Services Sdn Bhd stood by in silence.

Datuk George was sympathetic to the residents woes but took the
stand that the
association opined that it was solely the residents personal
fight for justice.

It was quite shocking to see the speed with which the clearing
of the land, refencing and
piling works were carried out. Its a wonder whether MP already
knew it was a lost casefor the residents before going to the
site.

The guy next to MP is the director of Makibra Services Sdn Bhd,
developer. He was quiet
all the way, knowing that there is no stopping the development.
So silence is golden asthere were too many unhappy residents
around.

Was MP ticking off the developer for not consulting the
residents professionally? The
guy with the camera is another goon from the developer camp.

Lorong Terasek Kanan has become the backdoor to the commercial
development on
vacant bungalow land. Approval for development came from higher
up in authority; who
the residents do not know.
