KUALA LUMPUR, April 24 ― The Damansara-Shah Alam Expressway (Dash) was removed from the Petaling Jaya 2 Local Plan (RTPJ2) today to allow further studies following widespread public objection over the controversial project.

The Dash highway alignment was originally inserted into the Local Plan earlier last year amid objections from PJ residents.

“Dash highway taken out for more studies to be done.

“For current exercise but (the PJ Council) will study (the matter) further, immediately,” MBPJ councillor Lee Suet Sen told Malay Mail Online when contacted after this morning’s full board council meeting.

The decision today comes despite Works Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof’s confirmation back in January that Putrajaya has already approved the Dash highway despite objections from lobby group Say No to Dash (SNTD).


“It is the same theory with Kidex and how it cannot been built.

“No local plan approval, no construction of highway,” Lee added, referring to the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway which has been rejected by the Selangor government.

Anti-Dash lobby Say No to Dash (SNTD) previously claimed that Dash highway developer Prolintas Bhd tried to conceal the fact that work on the Dash project has already begun despite no official confirmation from the Works Ministry or the Selangor government.

According to Prolintas, 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 and Sprint highways, which residents claim 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.

Good! Well done, SNTD! Keep it up.

Good news to all Damansara Perdana folks. Half d battle is won!

I'm in Setia Alam and I hope they build Dash.

they really need to change the DP area alignment, if i'm a DP resident i also will oppose since the highway too near to residential area

Yes, please be fair.

Please do tunnel for DP parts. then dash can on liao, since a lot of dash supporter, toll rate doesn't matter.

Projek Lebuh Raya Damansara-Shah Alam (DASH) hanya diluluskan sekiranya mendapat persetujuan semua penduduk di kawasan itu.

Dato’ Menteri Besar, Mohamed Azmin Ali, berkata beliau tidak berhak memberi persetujuan kepada projek lebuh raya itu sekiranya penduduk terus membantah.

Katanya ia selaras dengan dasar pentadbiran baru Kerajaan Selangor yang perlu mendengar keperluan membabitkan rakyat.

“Saya minta Lembaga Lebuh Raya Malaysia (LLM) dan Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) turun berjumpa penduduk dan beritahu mereka sebelum Kerajaan Negeri boleh luluskan projek itu.

“Siapa saya untuk tentukan setuju atau tidak? Saya terima arahan daripada rakyat.

“Sama macam isu Lebuhraya Kinrara-Damansara (KIDEX), kalau mereka tak nak maka tak naklah,” katanya selepas melawat Maahad Tarbiyah Islamiyah Al-Ansar, di sini petang tadi.

Mohamed Azmin berkata penduduk di kawasan itu tidak membantah pembinaan DASH, namun mereka mahu supaya pelarasan terakhir lebuh raya berkenaan diubah suai.

Katanya, LLM turut memaklumkan jajaran baru sudah disediakan dan bakal dibentangkan kepada penduduk di situ.

“Tak boleh bandingkan KIDEX dengan DASH sebab KIDEX mereka bantah terus tetapi DASH mereka setuju cuma jajaran akhir itu perlu dibetulkan.

“Saya sudah jumpa menteri dan LLM serta minta mereka tunjuk jajaran baru sebab mereka tidak perlu yakinkan saya, tetapi perlu buat kepada rakyat,” katanya lagi.

I have a condo in DP. I support DASH as long as there is re-alignment at DP because just too too near to the condo and the corner is too sharp. Sure the car will fly into one of the condo one day. This project intention is good but implementation is like cock. Typical BN.

Better find a win-win solution for everyone, azmin is doing good when resolving issue

RRIM need this DASH to boost it...

Saw development work still continuing at Ara Damansara, there still work progressing at the pillars..

Ara damansara is subang skypark train.
why you post at dash highway?

what is the gap between the H/way fence to the condo?

at pandan indah ... the fence between corner lot unit & expended road is only 4 ft.
