Malaysia Boleh will be 180km/h.

This is anti DASH.

Why does anyone wanted to go against a modernization and development for all public is beyond me..this is pure selfishness.

Building more road is not modernization. It proven it is backwardzation as it is not sustainable and the road is cash cow for cronie PNB.

building mass transport system replacing road is modernization. That according hk japan european . Ok?

We are not against modernization but thorough study must be conducted before embarking on such project taking into account of public interest. You cannot just build a highway cutting thru anywhere you want. There are many alternative to align elsewhere yet they choose to cut thru high density neighbourhood. Why? Coz is all abt dollar and cents bcoz this is the shortest route. Shud instead focus to build better public transport not highway.

I will vote u for next general election. Although building highway is less effective but it still cut short the travel time. Beside that, out city planning not that good, even u place the station at those taman but not many will benefited, unless all the station surrounding by those apartment / condo, not the terrace houses.

That why i ask you to go europe hk japan see. How bus system intergrate with train station.

dont just sit infront pc during weenked and die at 80's age. Go other country and copy thier great ideas. Dont just listen to our govt only looking at shorten gain with long term pain.

Hahaha..in this forum, only you ever travel oversea..no one else..

Excellent access road is good to spur the economy.public transport is another thing..

By the way, I owned a property in perdana emerald. Be level headed and not emotional..then u will come to ur sense..good bye

I agree with you!
I remembered I attended the DASH protest in Damansara Perdana only to hear one of the leader speaking in loud speaker that, DASH should be cutting through the low cost flat rather than our high-end condo, and the rest just cheered and applauded. How disgusting, so I left group immediately

Having said that we need alternative highway, I do agree with some that it should be aligned to mutiara damansara. But the facts is, mutiara damansara is free hold land, private land even the road shoulder island you can see a plate stating private property. In the other hand, damansara perdana is lease hold land. knowing this it is not difficult to understand that DASH is designed to cut through a less costly areas...

I pity you. Despitd u have traveled to hk japan europe. U still saying " station at those taman but not many will benefited, unless all the station surrounding by those apartment / condo, not the terrace houses"

It is waste of money you go there and not seeing the big picture/ideas.

Check again who said that..thank u..

For sure u said this "dont just sit infront pc during weenked and die at 80's age."...yeah thats u..hikhik..bye

Hot on the heels of Kidex, new group opposes another highway project


DASH, an elevated expressway which will stretch 20.1km, will commence at the Puncak Perdana U10 Shah Alam intersection and serve as a link for Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, Jalan Sungai Buloh, RRIM, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara. — Pic credit www.1propertyinfo.com

KUALA LUMPUR, June 8:

The Selangor government is now facing opposition to another highway project — the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH) project.

A group, which calls itself the “Say No To Dash” (SNTD) movement, is modelled after the “Say No To Kidex” group, which is protesting against the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex).

The SNTD group has been revived after a two-year hiatus, after residents in Mutiara Damansara and Damansara Perdana found out that DASH — which they assumed had been halted — had resumed in their backyard.

Prolintas, the highway concessionaire for DASH, said the elevated expressway will stretch 20.1 km and will commence at the Puncak Perdana U10 Shah Alam intersection and serve as a link for Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, Jalan Sungai Buloh, RRIM, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara.

It will end at the Penchala interchange, linking road users to the LDP (Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong) and SPRINT highways.

“The proposed expressway is expected to support rapid development covering U10 Shah Alam, Subang, Kota Damansara and Damansara areas,” according to the Prolintas’ website.

A meeting held today saw a small group of about 50 residents coming together to find out more about the project.

Two years ago, Damansara Perdana, Mutiara Damansara and Desa Temuan residents staged a protest against the proposed construction of DASH in front of the Damansara Perdana police station.

“Two years ago, about 1,000 residents had taken to the streets in dissent over the expressway.

“After much furore and drama, work on the project had seemingly slowed down,” former Petaling Jaya (PJ) city councillor Mak Khuin Weng told The Rakyat Post when contacted today.

Mak said, in the last two weeks, the residents felt something was amiss after seeing soil sampling stations being put up in the area.

“After approaching contractors at the stations, they found out that the project had not ended after all as the soil sampling was being carried out for the DASH project,” Mak, who is also a member of the Say No To Kidex movement, added.

“I am here to guide them as to how they can now go about to ensure their dissatisfaction is heard.”

The DASH project is being developed by Projek Lintasan Kota Sdn Bhd (Prolintas), the country’s second biggest highway concessionaire under Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).

Construction and land acquisition costs for DASH is estimated to be at a staggering RM4.18 billion.

Prolintas had also signed the concession agreement for another highway project, the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE), worth at an estimated RM11.5 billion.

The agreements for both DASH and SUKE were inked last year.

Works Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof said that both DASH and SUKE were awarded to Prolintas under the build-operate-transfer concept.

PETALING JAYA, June 8 — Riding on the success of the anti-Kidex highway movement, residents in Damansara Perdana are now putting up a fight against another proposed highway, which is expected to rip through the area populated by high-rise buildings.

The group has laid dormant for over two years until recently, when its members realised that work on the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (Dash) has started quietly.

“We realised that they have started their soil test... That’s how we know the project is on track,” Joanne Ting, a representative of the Say No To Dash (SNTD) group, told The Malay Mail Online.

The group claimed that the developer, Prolintas Bhd, has tried to conceal that the soil test was for the Dash project and that it only found out after asking the workers.

As a first step towards its revival, the group held a meeting at the Perdana Emerald condominium here today, which saw the attendance of over 50 residents from neighbouring areas.




A guest speaker at the meeting was Mak Khuin Weng, who is part of the resistance against the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex), which has received media spotlight recently.

“One thing I’ve found out was that politicians of both sides were equally dishonest,” Mak said in relating his experience dealing with the both Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) federal and state governments.

The group said it met Elizabeth Wong about two weeks ago, but the PKR assemblyman offered little reassurance apart from saying that any approval needs to go through the state government first.

According to Prolintas, Dash will be a 20.1 km, 3-lane, dual carriageway expressway starting from Puncak Perdana in Shah Alam to the Penchala interchange.

With 12 interchanges, the RM11.5 billion expressway plans to link drivers to Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong and Sprint highways, which residents claimed are already congested during peak hours.

Dash will serve motorists from Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, Jalan Sungai Buloh, the Rubber Research Institute Malaysia, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara, Prolintas said.

SNTD and the residents were concerned that in addition to traffic congestion, construction in the highly-populated area will be detrimental to their safety, health and the environment.

I am not against this project. I just think that DASH should terminate at PLUS near Sg. Buloh R&R.

bukit lanjan already jam spot, if dash end there, situation become more red.

Govt cannot just approve so much development without considering traffic limitations.

I feel sorry for the Denai Alam/Elmina owners having to pay high premium for SD properties but SD should do something positive like what Ecoworld/SP Setia have been doing.

Elmina GDV of 26 billion will be overvalued if no proper connection.

Hoping to avert another highway storm, PKR reps to meet Dash developer By Zurairi AR June 12, 2014 Latest Update: June 13, 2014 06:09 am - See more at: http://m.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/a...h.ArEOBhly.dpuf


DASH will be a 20.1km, three-lane, dual carriageway expressway starting from Puncak Perdana in Shah Alam to the Penchala interchange. With 12 interchanges, the RM11.5 billion expressway plans to link drivers to Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) and the Sprint highways, which residents claimed are already congested during peak hours.


KUALA LUMPUR, June 12 — Two PKR lawmakers will meet developers of the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (Dash) this month in a bid to revise the controversial project, which is expected to carve its way through the densely populated Damansara Perdana area. Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong told The Malay Mail Online that she, along with Subang MP R. Sivarasa, will meet Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB), which owns the developer of the expressway, Prolintas Bhd, following complaints from residents who want the project cancelled. “Sivarasa and I will reopen discussions with PNB with this latest news,” Wong said through text message, adding that the meeting will take place before the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. “Our position remains the same as in 2012, that is for the proposed highway not to go through housing areas of Mutiara Damansara and Damansara Perdana.” - See more at: http://m.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/a...h.ArEOBhly.dpuf
PNB has not issued updates on the project since last year but residents have spotted soil boring rigs running tests in the area for two weeks, Wong said.

DASH will be a 20.1 km, three-lane, dual carriageway expressway starting from Puncak Perdana in Shah Alam to the Penchala interchange.

With 12 interchanges, the RM11.5 billion expressway plans to link drivers to Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) and the Sprint highways, which residents claimed are already congested during peak hours.

Residents are worried that in addition to traffic congestion, construction in the highly-populated area will be detrimental to safety, health and the environment.

On Sunday, residents banded together to revived the Say-No-to-Dash movement, which has been dormant for two years, hoping to replicate the success of the ongoing resistance against the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex).

“We are positive PNB will be open to proposals and suggestions from residents. They had changed the alignment earlier to avoid going through one area of Mutiara Damansara but unfortunately their proposal impacted another section,” said Wong.

While rumours have credited developer Boustead Holdings Bhd for the expressway avoiding Mutiara Damansara, Wong claimed it was public feedback that led to the change.

“So if they can amend their plan earlier, we are positive they will continue to get more feedback and suggestions from the residents around the affected areas,” Wong added.

Wong promised to continue meeting residents to assuage their fears.
