Have a read above to know that highways in Malaysia are not always built in the best interest of the Rakyat.

From the above report, the government practice of appointing so-called ‘main contractors’ to ‘project manage’ major developments has quite rightly raised considerable criticism in Malaysia and Sarawak.

Particularly when these middlemen have been appointed without any open tendering for the job.

This is because it has become a great way for politically connected companies to skim off vast tranches of the public money awarded to government projects, before sub-contracting the jobs to actual construction companies.

Currently, the DASH highway is based on flawed TIA and EIA reports to start with. So, why the rush to start it n doing it not according to correct procedure??

Another thing to consider is, DASH is being built on a flawed Traffic impact assessment n environmental impact assessment. This should not be allowed as it reflects poor governance by the authorities.. The rakyat should stand against projects thAt is built on shortcut!

Dash has been principally approved . Just that the md/Dp part is being contested , and it is being contested in a proper way.

Hope ppl here will be objective as doesn't matter which end of the highway , all the rakyats rights r being exercised n opinion are being fairly expressed. Example , Shah Alam side wanted it n MBSA had approved it while md side dun want it n the local council has considered their concerns. That's how local governance should be n not just bulldoze through projects, can u imagine how chaotic it will be if such practices r allowed of ignoring the residents views ?

U just can't barge into someone's house n destroy it, it's just not right! Morally n technically. U need to seek a least some form of consents. Isn't that supposed to be if we all want a better Malaysia ?

I strongly suggest that u Turun padang to visualize the impact to both md n dp.

Try to visualize it with the alignment n then u tell me what is the impact of dash. Not only it is damaging , it is outright a destruction of the ways of life of the residents . Hint, it's not that ez to visualize the alignment firstly.

If it won't affecting the residents, u think they will oppose ?

If u wanna look back at history n bringing up the orang asli issue ,
Did u stand up for them if u felt it was unjust ? Secondly , the orang asli were compensated n they had accepted the compensation , so it shall not be a point of discussion .

Another fact is, prolintas has not been playing fair, requirements have yet to be fulfilled n approval has been given. Again, to use ur "orang asli" analogy , is this morally acceptable to u?
