Sharvin: 'A huge project like this will affect the children's focus and the teaching process due to all the noise during and after the highway is completed.'
Representatives from Petaling Jaya which consists of SJKC Chung Wah, SMK Bukit Bintang, SK Sri Petaling and from Puchong, SJKT Kinrara are deeply concerned about the highway alignment.
“We are still recovering from the effects of Covid-19 in terms of children's education and their social well-being. A huge project like this will affect the children's focus and the teaching process due to all the noise during and after the highway is completed,” he said. He added that the news of the highway has brought public anxiety and the information about the highway must be explained in other languages besides English depending on the crowd for better understanding.
He added that the highway project will take away the school’s old hall which is strongly objected by the alumni. “We are against this highway as it is too close to our school and our students will not have a good learning environment. The school will also not be able to expand with new buildings if this highway comes along as it will be extremely close to us.Also present at the session was former MPs R. Sivarasa, Maria Chin Abdullah, Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung and Selayang MP William Leong.
Instead of a highway, Maria said the government must focus on other alternatives and all bus routes must be based on needs and increased where necessary.
