Do you know how the Sg. Penchala/ Kota Damansara/ Bandar Sri Damansara/ Desa Park City area looks like in the 90's? Way before DP was build? Before Ikea was there? Before there was a Penchala tunnel? If you haven't seen it, come to Puncak Alam Area. It's quite similar. Small roads with really bad networks, expanding townships, booming community, no public transport, etc.
The only public transport available in Kota Damansara (it was called Pusat Bandar Sg Buloh) back then was Ho Hup buses which goes to Pudu through Sungai Buloh & Selayang. Persiaran Surian was not build yet at the time. There was no Penchala link. Even Sprint highway was just a normal road. The road from Penchala to bandar sri damansara area (which didn't exist yet) was only a single lane road which was small and winding. I used to get carsick when going through that road.
That was 20 years ago. Now you guys have all the road networks that you need, MRT coming soon, and yes,highways and tolls all around you. Didn't see you guys protesting against any of it in the last 20 years. In fact, the tolled highway connections was one of the key point that attracted people to buy properties in DP. I bet less people would have bought properties in DP if there was no LDP, SPRINT, Penchala Link and NKVE. So, don't come and tell us that highways are bad when you guys have clearly benefitted from it.
We would love it if DASH got no tolls, but that is not gonna happen anytime soon. So, we would gladly settle for a tolled highway as long as it can improve the connectivity to the area. Right now, Persiaran Mokhtar Dahari is the only access road that is available in the area and it consist of a single lane road for most part of the stretch.
Be honest, even if DASH were built with no tolls, you guys will still protest against it right? The issue is not about tolled highways, environment all all the other reasons that you guys have given. The only reason is that DASH will cause a slight inconvenience to you guys. That's all there is to it.
DP residents have benefitted from the progress that was made in the last 20 years. Progress that also inconvenienced other townships. So, now we're just asking for the same thing that you guys had been able to enjoy. We deserve it as much as you guys do.
