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.

Yalor. Economy so bad. What to do? If you have bought directly from the developer, yield is still quite decent.

Pokémon will help increase foot fall. Up to the shop owners to capitalize and translate the increased foot fall into increased sales.

Not too sure, but need to work on a customer retention/customer referral strategy I guess.

Products have life cycle. When it is gone, something else will come along I suppose. Just got to adapt to capitalize all opportunities.

Unit? Size? Asking price / rental?

Very ambitious target.

Don't know why many people are expecting price to increase by leap and bound after the LRT becomes operational. I am sure developer would have priced in the "LRT factor" premium at the project launching itself.

Should be good for the residential units.
Less noise.
