LETTER | Protest against high-rise apartment being built next door due to various problems ignored by DBKL, developer.
| On Oct 26, 2018, residents of Desa Putra Condo and its surrounding neighbours were called to DBKL for a protest hearing. The protest was raised by residents against a 43-storey serviced apartment to be built adjacent to Desa Putra Condo on a mere 1.7 acres of land.
The fact that the executive director has been serving DBKL for more years than I’ve been alive should have reassured me that all would be in order. But this has proven not to be the case. Fourteen working days went by, followed by a year of silence. The fact that residents were not given access to the TIA shows that the arrogance of DBKL continues to live on in the era of Malaysia Baru. Hubris isn’t confined to just DBKL – the showroom for the development was ready way before the development order was passed.
Taxation without representation is one thing, but taxation without any sense of accountability to the taxpayers is a step too far.
