April 26, 2008

DAMANSARA 21project developer SDB Properties Sdn Bhd in a statement issued yesterday, explained that the work carried out at the site in Medan Damansara were to rectify the project’s shortcomings.

The company reassured residents that it did not ignore City Hall’s stop-work order and that the work under way were in accordance with City Hall’s order.

The work is to build a retaining wall between Jalan Setia Bestari and the construction site.

The developer is also required to erect hoardings at the perimeter of the construction area, plant grass on the hillslope, replace torn plastic covers as well as build drains and silt traps.

It has agreed to comply with the directives by May 20 and to report to City Hall on the project’s progress weekly.

“SDB Properties Sdn Bhd will continue to maintain the highest safety and environmental standards,” the statement read.

“We will also comply with all directives recently announced by City Hall within the agreed deadline. The company is committed to safeguarding the interests of stakeholders and the community,” it said.

The project, which began in early December, comprises 21 bungalows, costing between RM10mil and RM15mil each. Residents had objected to the project.

City Hall had issued a stop-work order and slapped a RM100,000 fine on the developer as it was found that the project did not comply with safety standards and there was no proper drainage system.
