Once a woman marries, she will lose her once in a lifetime exemption if she hasn't used it before she marries. Therefore, the second property is subjected to tax.

On brink of demolition, Bkt Jalil residents ready for battle
TUE, 03 AUG 2010 18:06
By B Nantha Kumar

KUALA LUMPUR: Come tomorrow, bulldozers are expected to rumble into the Bukit Jalil estate to tear down the houses there. But the residents will not back down and are gearing up for battle.

In their words, some 41 families are prepared to take “all possible action” to thwart the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) from bringing their roofs down.

Even the possibility of facing the wrath of the police's baton-charging Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) will not deter them from the standing their ground.

The final eviction order to the residents, dated July 20, ends at midnight.

“We are ready for the worst case scenario,” a resident, who declined to be named, told FMT. “This is going to be Barisan Nasional's version of Kampung Buah Pala.”

“Obviously before demolishing the houses, they will bring in the FRU and we are prepared for that as well," he added.

It is learnt that opposition party leaders and NGO representatives have also vowed to fight alongside the residents to protect their houses.

However, the resident said they will not be bearing weapons, but will instead arm themselves with banners and posters.

"We will also bring in backhoes to block the demolition. This is our home. There is no way anyone is going to demolish our houses without an alternate solution to this problem," he added.

There are also plans to disconnect the power supply because they fear “a sudden power surge” which can raze their houses.

“We have seen this happen before. Mysterious fires at squatters. We do not want a similar incident here. We will disconnect power from tonight,” said the resident.

'We are not squatters'

On June 8, the residents received a letter from DBKL stating that the city council will postpone the demolition.

It also stated that DBKL received orders from Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Deputy Minister M Saravanan that the next course of action will only be taken after a discussion between his ministry and the Human Resources Ministry.

Despite this, the residents were slapped with the final evacuation notice.

At a meeting with the residents yesterday, DBKL's deputy director (services) Amin Nordin Abdul Azai stood firm on the decision to evict the former Bukit Jalil estate workers, despite their appeal to postpone the deadline.

The residents were warned that demolition works can be carried out at any time after the deadline expires.

Contacted later, resident and Human Rights Party member K Balakrishnan said the contradictory letters from DBKL showed that the council is not willing to keep its word.

“Now, we have to move out by tomorrow. If we don't, it will not stop DBKL from demolishing our houses. But what about the promise made to us in the June 8 letter?” he asked.

"We are told that this land will be turned into a cemetary but we found out that the land has been sold to a prominent personality, who once served as a minister," he said.

Balakrishnan said that former estate workers should not be termed as squatters.

"We are not squatters. Squatters are illegal as they build houses on private or government land, but we were given houses built by a company with the full knowledge of the government,” he added.

Bukit Jalil is the last remaining estate in the capital. Parts of it were also taken over by the government for the Bukit Jalil sports complext project in 1998.

New highway links Puchong to Tropicana

A new proposed highway linking Kinrara in Puchong to the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) will be cutting across Petaling Jaya near Tropicana.

The new link, which is off the Kesas Highway cuts through Section 4, Section 8, Jalan Timur, Jalan Semangat, Rothmans roundabout, Damansara Intan and Damansara Kim.

The toll highway, expected to start construction soon, also goes along the Sprint Highway all the way to the NKVE near Tropicana area.


Traffic planning consultant Goh Bok Yen said the new link would help alleviate the traffic problems in Petaling Jaya.

“Petaling Jaya badly needs roads that provide good access. It basically requires dispersal link to access the highways for ingress and digress,” he said.

Goh cited as an example the NKVE which, he said, cut on the west side to Kota Damansara, Ara Damansara and Tropicana.

A few links that are mainly used are Persiaran Surian, the FAS tunnel and Tropicana.

For the entire Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara, he said logically there should be another route to allow traffic out of Persiaran Surian.

Are we ready to battle a high-rise fire?
January 12, 2011
With the mushrooming of high-rise buildings, the danger of a towering inferno always exists.
PUTRAJAYA: Over the years high-rise buildings especially in the Klang Valley and other major cities have mushroomed, a testimony to the nation’s prosperity and development.
In Malaysia, buildings above 12 levels are considered high-rise and in the Klang Valley alone there are 548 of them representing residential, commercial and office buildings.
Kuala Lumpur is also the host to the world’s tallest twin towers, the 88-storey Petronas Twin Towers in KLCC that boasts state-of-the-art facilities and safety features.
While the corporate world and the developers are working on more high-rise developments, including the proposed 100-storey Merdeka Tower, these high-rise buildings pose serious challenges during emergencies like fire.
How safe are these high-rise buildings in the event of a fire? Is the Fire and Rescue Service Department properly equipped to tackle fire in high-rise buildings and how far are our firefighters trained to deal with the hazards associated with high-rise fire?
In checking out the readiness and capabilities of our fire and rescue services in tackling safety threat relating to high-rise buildings, Bernama recently interviewed the Fire and Rescue Service Department’s director-general Wan Mohd Nor Ibrahim at his office here.
Wan Mohd Nor pointed out that fire safety starts from the building design itself.
All high-rise buildings in the nation have to conform with several safety standards relating to fire and the safety of its occupants. High-rise buildings in Malaysia, especially those built after 1984, have to conform to the Uniform Building By-laws (UBBL) 1984.
“These by-laws are actually the 1976 version of the by-laws enacted after the fire at the Campbell Complex on April 8, 1976,” he said.
The fire in Campell Complex, which comprised a four-storey shopping podium and a 15-storey office block, was the first to involve a high-rise in the country and gave the wake-up call for greater safety features in high-rise buildings.
Thus, high-rise buildings in Malaysia are equipped with adequate fire-fighting equipment and systems apart from building designs that emphasize safety in all aspects.
“Among them are the fire-resistant doors, CCTVs, sprinkler system protected corridors, and lobbies that allow occupants to evacuate safely in the event of a fire. The safety systems in the buildings are basically to prevent fires, extinguish fires and warn the occupants,” Wan Mohd Nor said.
KLCC’s fire safety
According to Wan Mohd Nor, most high-rise buildings in the country, especially the newer ones, have the required safety features.
He cited the Petronas Twin Towers where its safety features were scrutinised by the Fire and Rescue Service Department right from the planning stages.
“Moreover, buildings like these are under constant surveillance… there is a 24-hour control room, CCTVs, sensors and fire extinguishers to detect and extinguish fire,” he said.
“The Petronas Twin Towers are different in their design compared with other buildings in Malaysia and boast high-safety standards.
“The height of the towers poses no problem to the fire department in any emergency, but evacuating thousands of its occupants during an emergency is no easy task,” he added.
While the building safety systems and features are preventive in nature, the job of putting out a fire is the work of the fire brigade.
When asked whether our firefighters are ready to battle fires at high-rise buildings or even skyscrapers like Petronas Twin Towers, Wan Mohd Nor said that height posed no problem for his men.
The fire and rescue services have command systems, a detailed standard operating procedure, manpower and equipment to put out fires at any high-rise buildings or even skyscrapers in the country.
Fire-fighting methods
Wan Mohd Nor noted that department’s standard operating procedures basically involve “internal fire fighting” and “external fire fighting” approach.
Internal fire fighting, also known as “offensive fire fighting”, is an aggressive fire-fighting technique that calls for the fire brigade to enter into a building/structure to extinguish a fire or conduct rescue operations.
Firemen enter the building after conducting a risk assessment of the structure and studying the fire dynamics within the site.
Wan Mohd Nor explained that internal fire fighting is often the choice in fighting high-rise fires.
The firemen’s effort is complemented by the fire protection and extinguishing system within and therefore it is pertinent that these systems are maintained optimally.
The external fire fighting or “defensive fire fighting” is to isolate and stabilise the fire to control damage and prevent the fire from spreading to nearby structures. It is not meant for high-rise fires as the firemen can only reach up to the 15th floor from the outside using hydraulic ladders.
Nonetheless, high-rise buildings in Malaysia have so far maintained a good safety record and as long as the safety features are observed, there will be no towering inferno.
