PETALING JAYA, Nov 19, 2014:
The “Say No to Dash” group will meet the Selangor MB next month to discuss the agreement and the alignment of the 20.1km, 3-lane, Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (Dash) that would cut through Damansara Perdana.

Say No to Dash spokesperson Michelle Wong said the group was not against the whole project but just the fact that it was cutting through their neighborhood.

“The highway will be right in front of our home windows,” she said during a press conference held in Perdana Emerald Condominium here.

She said the group had also requested to meet with the Works Minister regarding this matter.
Wong said the Say no to Dash group had made a request under the Freedom of Information Enactment to obtain meeting minutes from the Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) on the government’s approval of the highway.

“We want to know through the minutes, whereby Dash was given a conditional approval, because we would like to know exactly what sort of approval was given.

“The Selangor government has until Nov 22 to comply to this request as they are legally obligated to answer our queries on whether they will release these documents or not.
“We do not know if we can take what the PR state government says for face value as we still see it proceeding with the matter despite raising it several times with them.”
She said the group also has no information about the project or the status of it because of the lack of public consultation.
“Public consultation should have been done before approving this project, as we are directly affected by the project. We want to know how was it approved.”
She said there are 12,000 homes and 24,000 residents that have endorsed the “Say No to Dash” stance so far.
The expressway, estimated to cost RM11.5 billion, will link road users to Lebuhraya Damansara-Puchong (LDP) and Sprint Highway and will connect these areas: Jalan Sungai Buloh, Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, the Rubber Research Institute Malaysia, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara damansara.

Residents claim Dash highway will reduce their quality of life

PETALING JAYA, Nov 19, 2014:
Residents in Damansara Perdana attended the “Say No to Dash” meeting with optimism that the state government will hear their concerns regarding the construction of the 20.1 km, 3-lane, Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (Dash) that would cut through their neighborhood.
Ivy Lim, 60, a business owner said she felt “penalised” by the apparent conditional approval of the expressway.
She said it was hard to fathom how it could have been approved with the highway cutting through this area when it was already so congested.
“It takes about 30 minutes just to get to the Curve during peak hours these days.
“Now they want to divert more traffic here with the approval of this expressway?
“There are so many condominiums and other buildings being built here as we speak,” she told The Rakyat Post after the Say No to Dash press conference held in Perdana Emerald Condominium here.

She said the construction would totally restrict pedestrians from having any space to walk about.
“When I moved here 7 years ago, I used to walk with my dog around this area, now there’s just no space and the condition is not safe to walk around anymore.”
She said she was confused as to how they were going to build the highway when roads were already so narrow and congested.
“Where is the quality of life? It used to be eco-friendly and now there’s no more greenery here in the area,” Lim said, adding that it was her hope that the decision made by the state government would benefit instead of burdening the people.
Joanne Ting, 44, business owner said the PJU 8/1 main road was the only access road the residents had and it would be directly affected by the construction of the highway.
“How can a highway come through here when we have high-rise buildings on both sides of the road. We have more than 20 condominiums here.”
She claimed that the highway would severely affect the quality of life for residents here.
“I don’t think that it’s a good idea as it would affect our health.
“There are young families here and those who bought into this place for retirement. We have a wide range of residents here who will be affected by the project.”
She said what really worried her was the traffic congestion in the future, if the project was carried out.
“We rather have trees than more concrete buildings, now there’s even an increase in rat population here because of the mass construction and dirty roads.”
Some 12,000 homes and 24,000 residents have already endorsed the Say No to Dash stance so far.
The expressway, estimated to cost RM11.5 billion, will link road users to Lebuhraya Damansara Puchong and Sprint Highway and will connect these areas: Jalan Sungai Buloh, Puncak Perdana, Alam Suria, Denai Alam, Kampung Melayu Subang, the Rubber Research Institute Malaysia, Kota Damansara, Damansara Perdana and Mutiara Damansara.

i see a whole bunch of selfish people. Why didnt they say no to LDP ?
I would see what quality of life they have when there isnt LDP.

These people are only thinking for their own self. Welcome to Petaling Jaya , land of the selfish people.

Read the article, just because she want greenly and bring her dog walk around than just ignore the entire community pembangunan project.
How to construct a high in a congested area?? stupid question, it is just how we construct MRT in KL city town. I believe it is much much simple and easy comparing MRT. Selffish org kaya ini.....

then u dont use LDP and MEX laaa..reduced others quality of life

i like to correct that statement. It is not selfish orang kaya , but more like Selfish individuals. Whether rich or poor , it's the same. I have been living in Petaling Jaya for 35 years of my life , and i can tell you that majority of the people living there are self centered.

Again if you got rob there , no one will come to your aid. It's a fact. This is more prevalent in places like Bandar Utama & etc.

Actually if people willing to pay toll, i think they more willing to pay MRT ticket. So build more MRT line to solve the problem. Not highway which is cause more jam.

No Kidex, No Dash, No EKVE

you can read that she state she is not anti DASH but the alignment which passes in front of the condo. and it is Freaking close. If govt build a elevated hi way infront of your condo or house you'd complain too.

YES to DASH from me too

Than don use title no to dash lol.
should ask how to improve the architecture which more Eco friendly to nearby existing building.
Same approach, is it duke highway alignment passing through high density residential area? Why they don say no duke? is because it bring benefit to all.

Isn't it the same almost everywhere in Klang Valley and you included my friend. Would you come to one's aid if someone is robbed? Shussh...why did I even ask? I know the answer already even if you are going to say 'yes' it is still a 'no' in real life. So stop your nonsensical stereotyping.

Well i lived just next to MRR2 before it was built.
When the gov announced to built the highway, we were so pleased because we have easier access to south and north.
And the highway is freaking close to our houses too.
But that didnt matter to us.

Unlike you my friend, we did not object to the objections of the residents affected there. So don't play the self-righteous card here.
