PUCHONG 11 Jan. - Penduduk diApartmen Sri Pulai, Puchong Hartamas disini sudah lebih enam bulan menderitaakibat pemaju yang menguruskan pang-sapuri itu 'melarikan diri'. '

Penduduk juga ditinggalkan pemaju da-lam keadaan serba daif tanpa bekalan airdan tiada penyelenggaraan kumbahan se-jak setengah tahun lalu., Sepertiana,kkehilangan ibu, pendudukdi sini juga terpaksa mencari penyelesaiansendiri kepada masalah pengurusan yangdisebabkan kehilangan pemaju.

Paling mengejutkan ialah apabila pe-jabat pengurusanyang sebelum ini terletak

. di kawasan berhampiran ditutup tanpasebarang makluman kepada p.enduduk.

Kasihan apabila menjenguk ke rumahmereka, ada penduduk yang terpaksa hi-dup dengan menghidu bau busuk akibattandas bocor dan pengaliran air kumbahanyang tidak sempurna saban hari.

Mereka suda,h tinggal di situ sejak tigatahun lalu dan tiba-tiba pemaju 'mele-paskan' tanggungjawab tanpa sebarang no-tis kepada penduduk.

Mereka tidak tahu apa silapnya keranamereka mendakwa membaya,r caj pengu-rusan setiap bulan tetapi mengakui, adasegelintir penduduk yang berdegil.

Namun, persoalannya ialah rnengapake-semua penduduk dihukum sedang tinda-kan sewajarnya dikenakan kepada merekayang enggan membayq.r sahaja.

Tinjauan UtusanMalaysia mendapali, ke-adaan apartmen itu terlalu kotor, sampahsarap bertiburan di sana sini dan keadaansetiap rumah benar-benar menyedihkan.

Bagaimana agaknya. kehidupan seharianpenduduk di sini yang terpaksa mencarisumber air sendiri selain pemandangansekeliling yang tidak terjaga langsung.

Tidak keterlaluan jika disifatkan peng-huni kini tinggal bersama sampah dan baubusuk tandas yang mengganggu merekasaban hari.

Kerana itu apabila diadakan pertemuandengan Ketua Penerangan Pemuda MICKebangsaan, S. Subramaniam, janjiyangdiberi akan menemukan mereka dengan

S. SUBRAMANIAM TEOH BEE KEOW

pengurusan dan pihak majlis perbandarandiharap dapat menyelesaikan masalah de-ngan segera. ' ,

Namun hakikatnya, mereka terus hidupdalam udara busuk sekali gus menjadikanpembelian aset di kawasan ini sesuatu yangbenar-benar merugikan.

Seorang penduduk, Teoh Bee Keow,38,menjelaskan, masalah yang dihadapi sudahberkali-kali diadu kepada pihak pemajtisejak setahun lepas.

Tegasnya, pemaju sengaja inemberi ala~san ada penduduk yangtidak membaya,rcaj'ipengurusan dan memutuskan untUkmenghentikan bekalan air kepada semua.

"Kenapa semua penduduk menjadimangsa. I,{itatidak faham apa sebenarny,i,

, permainan pernaju yang melepaskan tang- '

gungjawab mereka dengan tiba-tiba."Paling menyedihkan pejabat mereka di

sinijugaditutup dan mereka hilang entahke mana. Di mana kita mahu mengaduuntuk menyelesaikan masalah ini?;' ujar-

'nya. .Katanya lagi, bekalan air di rumahnya

kini sudah dipotong dan bertambah m~-ngecewakan saluran najisnya tersumbat.

"Keadaan rumah benar-benar huru-hara.Siapa yang sanggup tinggal di. sini dalamkeadaan terus diabaikan pemaju.

"Initan~gungjawab mereka, kenapa kitayang setia membayar caj pengurusan setiapbulan turut menjadi mangsa;' katanya.

Seorang lagi penduduk, Rafiudin Zainal,60, berkata, masalah utama yang dihadapi'penduduk di sirii dengan pengurusan ada-lah kurangnya komunikasi di antara me-reka.

;;?"" ,RAFIUDIN ZAINAL

tegasnya, pihak pengurusan cuma me-maklumkan kewajipan penduduk' untuk'membayar caj pengurusantanpaJ:nemberist;parang jaminan kawasan akan dibersih-KIDatau diselenggara dengan baik.

"Tiba-tiba pejabat mereka di sini ditutup.Mer,eka lari dan meninggalkan kami tanpa~eb1ir~& notis. ,I "-

'~Jadlapa yang perlu kaml buat? Adakahterpaksa;terus hidup begini tanpa ada adapenyeles;rian kepada semua masalah yangIn.elapda~" jelasnya.~'pleh,itu;'Rafiudirimelllinta campur ta-

ngan daripada pihak penguasa tempatandan berharap pihak terbabit dapat me-nyelesaikan masalah niereka denga'n se-gera. I

.DalaIIipada itu,~penduduk, V.Chan-'dran, 45; berkata, sikap lepas tangan pe-maju behar-benar dikesali semua pendu-duk di situ.

Jelasnya, harapan setiap pen~uduk un-tuk tinggal tanpa" sebarang inasalah diapartmen itu musnah sarna sekali angkarapihak pengurusan.

"Kita sedih kerana terabai selama se-tengah tahun.Tengok sendiri keadaan se-keliling yang kotor dan itu belum ditam-bah dengan keadaan rumah yang benar-be-nar menyedihkan.

"Mengapa tidak cakap sahaj;Lkalau pun-canya ialah caj pengurusan yang berjumlahRM27 sebulan selama ini tidak mencukupi.Kita sedia berbincang dan lJ1ahu masalahini selesai segera tanpa sebarang perte-lingkahan," ujarnya. . .

Ujarnya lagi, penduduk di situ sudahtidak tabu di mana harusmengadu dan

,.

pertemuan dengan pihak penguasa tem-patan dalam kadar segera dilihat sebagaipenyelesai masalah yang sudah tidak ter-tanggung oleh mereka itu~

"Tolonglah dengar'masal;ili kami. Pihakberkuasa tempatan perlu'prihatin dan me-nyelamatkan kami dan sekali gus meng-hukurn pemaju yang sesuka hati mening-galkan karni tanpa sebarang notis," ka-tanya.

Selangor aborts,cemetery projectDecision not to develop Ayer Hitam Forest

I Reserveis a victory for the people, saysWongBy THO XIN VIthoxinyi@thestar,com,my

PUCHONGresidents received aNew Year gift from theSelangor state government in

the form of a promise not to develdpthe AyerHitamForestReserve, .

In a New Year celebration inpuchong on Saturday morning,Selangor Tourism, Consumer andEnvironment Committee chairmanElizabeth -Wong announced thestate's decision to abort the pro-posed eemetery project in the forestreserve. .

Since April 2004, the residentshad been fighting for the project to .

be scrapped so t~at the forest wou1dremain a green lung.

In 2008, more than 1,500 resi-dents from Saujana Puchong, LestariPuchong, Bandar -Bukit Puchong,Gateway Puchong and Mutiara Indahsubmitted a petition, protesting

against the development, to theSubang Jaya Municipal Council(MPSJ).

Wong described the state's deci-sion as a victory for the people.

"The forest'reserve is rich withflora and fauna -and thus should notbe developed," Wong said.

The forest is believed to have beensettled by the Temuan orang aslitribe 400 years ago, and they arenow living in two villages nearby,

Orginally, the forest spanned some4,270ha, but it was degazetted for avariety of land,usesover the years. .

As of February 2009, l,217ha hadbeen gazetted by the Selangor gov-ernment as an education andresearchforest. .

Under the jurisdjction of theSelangor Fore~tryDepartment, theforest is on an 80-yeadease, dating..from 1996, to' Universiti PQtraMalaysia(UPM).

Wong said th~ forest reserve was.-- ---.-

exclusively for scientific researchand not open to the public, exceptwith permission from the forestry'department.

Nonetheless, following the resi-dents' demand, the state goveni-ment is now lookingat degazettinga .

part of-the forest reserve for a rec- -reational forest. "If possible, the site should be adegraded forest.

"We'll probably ,cut some trailsand make 'it into a site like BukitGasing. '. .

"But we are not going.to chopdown trees Tor this; so as not. to'defeat the whole purpose,"rWongsaid. "

The .orang asli, who have vastknowledg~of the forest, would be.invitedto be part of this plan byworkingas guideso,rguardians,

Wong added. that th~effort inretaining the forest resetv~ was inline with the /United Nations'

InterpationaI Year of Bio~iversity,which was launched on Monday inBerlin, Germany.

'''It is a celebration of life on earthand of the value of biodiversity inourlives. .

. Forest in thecity: The AyerHitam ForestForest inPuchongisbelieved.to havebeen settled bythe Temuanorang asli tribe400 years ago,and is rich withflora and fauna.

"We will doc more this year toavert the crisi~,"Wong said.

Meanwhile, the state government,through the state planners, is look-ing Jdra more suitable site for thecemetery project.
