No Reason For Works To Delay At Castlefield School – PRASARANA

Kuala Lumpur, 6 December 2013  -  With an apparent disagreement between parents over the proposed relocation of the controversial SRK Tamil Castlefield in Puchong, contractors to the LRT Line Extension Project (LEP) has urged for the school to accept the fact that the transfer exercise would not materialise and to allow them to start their work at the site.
In a statement issued today, Syarikat Prasarana Negara Berhad (Prasarana) – the project owner for LEP – said that there was no need for the works to be delayed any more.

“It has been dragging too long and wasting too much time and resources for all … The School Board should accept the fact that the proposed transfer would not be happening. Let’s us all work on completing the LEP project, building the noise barriers and installing the air-conditioned units for the classes.

“For any relocation exercise, the Education Ministry has set a requirement that 100 percent approval from all parents is necessary. Clearly, there are parents who want their children to continue their studies at the current location.

“Discussion for any relocation exercise is, therefore, unnecessary anymore. Let’s our contractors do their work,” Prasarana Group Director for Project Development, Encik Zulkifli Mohd Yusof said today.         

The proposed 17.7km extension of the Ampang Line, which runs from the current Sri Petaling LRT Station to the integrated Putra Heights stations, involved a 220-meter stretch that passes the edge of the SRK Tamil Castlefield school field; running parallel to the Lebuhraya Puchong Damansara (LDP) and the erection of five pillars.

In January 2011, Pejabat Tanah dan Daerah Petaling had given the approval to Prasarana to enter government land within LRT alignment and to start the construction works. 

In stopping the works, the School Board said that it would only allow entry for the contractors if they are given a new piece of land to re-locate the school plus other incentives. That sparked a series of meetings with various agencies including the state’s economic action unit (MTES), Education Ministry, Transport Ministry and the local authorities.

While these meetings continued, the School Board remained adamant that no work should start at the site; forcing Prasarana and its contractors into endless wait while incurring needless expenses. 
Recently, a group of 80 parents came out in the open to voice their disagreement for the relocation exercise; signing a document to state their position and voicing out their concern for the delay of the LEP project.

Zulkifli said: “I fully agree with these parents that the area and Puchong as well as the Klang Valley in view of the worsening traffic situation. The LRT will substantially help ease the situation. For the state, the LEP will be a catalyst for development and economic growth.

Implemented under the National Key Result Area (NKRA), the LEP project involves extension of both the existing LRT lines – Ampang Line and the Kelana Jaya Line.


For the Ampang Line, which would directly benefit residents in Petaling, Bandar Kinrara, Puchong and Putra Heights, the current LRT line is extended to Putra Heights integrated station.

Also with Putra Heights as the last station, the Kelana Jaya Line would be extended from the current Kelana Jaya LRT station; passing through Lembah Subang, Subang Jaya, USJ and Subang Alam near Shah Alam.

yes R2 face ugliest entrance

yes repeated songs every night kinda sian ady
free music but it beats into the heart and makes it harder to have a peaceful night
maybe F1 ear plug is a good solution!

Even with pretty models, I think every one agrees the wall there does not go with the original facade. Any negotiation will obviously have to include this less than wanted feature.

i think all the mess we faced now is due to developer not exercising control
i remember during launch they have segregated SW into few zones but it does not look like it now with all sorts of shops as neighbour

it is always shit happens then try to solve the shit
if there is proper guideline and control i'm sure the brick walls would not be even constructed
so now how to demolish it? the best sw as developer can do is to build a partition like a celebrity walk partition where workers of sector 7 and beer factory can hide behind their zone
so to walkers, they will walk pass a nice facade not knowing behind lies workers lepak zone
can this be done?

if you go up 1st floor
it is another failure
no reputable tenant but someone just rented the place to sell cheap clothes
manned by a foreign worker who does not look like having a work permit
then the lift is also dilapidated to the v-park
the speaker in the lift is super loud to inform visitors they are flying to the v-park at the top

omg walkers in sw??!! watch too much Walking Dead season4 de lol

the lrt is another shit happens planning with one team trying to win win win and greed may be the cause. c'mon la at least give way la after all it just a small school. what to win? land? money? ioi mall side is trying to progress so eventually will we face an abandon lrt project with the middle part failed?

can we propose to our JMB ......

to build a balinese water feature wall at the entrance of R2??

Got so high? 13a face ldp. Really good price
1007sq feet furnished 640k at least?

"Merry Christmas Everybody"

"Happy Holidays"

Jam packed heading to Setia walk yesterday around 9pm

I went out from Setiawalk around 10.30pm....expecting to see long queue of cars heading towards Sunway. Surprisingly Sunway direction is free flowing, LDP is jam packed with cars making U-turn towards Puchong at Puchong Jaya interchange and also from Sunway towards Puchong.

Jam is a good sign for Setia Walk.
especially during big occasion.

Good to know that SetiaWalk is putting on fireworks yesterday, looking forward for the 31st count down.

btw, Merry Christmas everyone...

Facing future Brio Square is obviously better.

I heard there was a fire in R2 last night,
anyone know what happened?
