Aman Siara residents still waiting for flyover to open

The developer of Aman Siara townhouses in Rawang, Wirama Sdn Bhd has agreed to submit a final piece of safety report to the Public Works Department (JKR) in two weeks.

The report on a completed flyover bridge that connects the residential area to Jalan Ipoh heading towards Kuala Lumpur, is needed for JKR’s approval before the bridge can be opened for public use.

The bridge, which was completed in August, is still awaiting approval from JKR and this is frustrating the residents who currently have to drive out extra two kilometres to make a U-turn at Templer’s Park to access the other side of the road.

Before the Templer’s U-turn was made available, motorists from Aman Siara were forced to drive five kilometres to make a U-turn.

The growing frustration is also largely due to a broken promise by the developer to provide a connecting passageway from Aman Siara.

The buyers were promised this when they bought the properties.

The matter was sorted out in a dialogue session between the residents, Aman Siara joint management body chairman Huzaini Samsudin and representatives of the developer.

Selayang MCA parliamentary coordinator Jessi Ooi mediated the session.

Also present at the meeting were Selayang Munucipal Council president Datuk Zainal Abidin Aala and councillor Husnal Azahari Sanusi Ooi said she would follow up with the developer and JKR on the matter and if it could not be solved as promised, then it would be referred to the tribunal under the Housing and Local Government Ministry for further action.

Zainal Abidin said the residents should wait a little longer for the flyover to meet all safety requirements.

“More than anything, we have to make sure the flyover is safe for public use as we do not want any untoward incident to happen,” he said.
