SUBANG JAYA: Jalan USJ13/3Dresidents are upset because theysuspect that a telecommuni€ationstower is being built at the play-ground in front of their homes.

On May 20, H.K. Ong said he hadnoticed that soil excavation workswere being carried out.

He said he was told that thefoun-dation of a telephone booth wasbeing laid, next to a phone boothwhich was in disrepair and a con-crete slab, which was all that wasleft of another phone booth.

"I got suspicious when I noticedthat the hole was at least two me-tres deep," Ongsaid.

Two weeks earlier, he said, sev-eral individuals were at the play-ground and had used a sky lift to getan aerial view of the neighbour-hood.

"Why would they need to do thatjust to put up a telephone booth? Iasked the contractor and he saidthe foundation was for a telecom-munications tower," said Ong.

He said residents had collected126 signatures and protestedagainst a proposal to build atelecommunications tower in2008.

On May 28, of the same year, Ongsaid they had sent a letter to urgethe Subang Jaya Municipal Council(MPSJ)to strike out the proposal tobuild a 20-metre high tower.

He said residents were kept in thedark and on April 9,last year, MPSJgave its consent to a company tobuild telephone booths at the play-ground.

Ong said he and his neighbourAndrew Chong suspected thatsomething was amiss.

"Our health is our priority. Wedon't need a pay phone here, in themiddle of the playground. It wouldbe an eyesore, " Ong said.

They said MPSJ should explainwhether a phone booth or atelecommunications tower was be-ing built at the playground. -5J Echo
