A group of residents of Medan Damansara finally took up the cudgels on behalf of the residents of the area. They lodged a report against the Anti Corruption Agency (ACA) a short while ago.

The Star in its news alert has it here.

There was a huge media presence at Putrajaya and the message will be duly conveyed to the masses.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Mayor stumbling block

I wonder why the KL Mayor was evasive when approached by reporters several days ago. New Straits Times has the report here

Hanging in the balance

Let's hear what SDB has to say here

We are fed-up

A number of protests have been made against the necessary and relevant agencies but the process is so slow that we are fed up of the waiting! Malay Mail, a newspaper that claims to be our voice, ran this earlier this month. Read here

What a sham-e

Residents of Medan Damansara were once promised light at the end of the tunnel. It turned out to be an empty promise. Please click here

Falling on deaf ears

For the life of me, I don't understand the City Hall's insistence that the hillside project at Medan Damansara be allowed to go on.

The residents have urged the ACA to probe this scam, after a retaining wall collapsed on Wednesday evening during a downpour, followed by a landslip at 4am on Thursday due to soil erosion from the hill near the area.

One house was badly affected by the incident with cracks appearing on the walls and mud gushing through the kitchen door. As a result two families have been evacuated as a precautionary measure. Trouble is our pleas have fallen on deaf ears! Now study this picture.
