While the furore about hill-slope development continues, this photo was taken by a concerned Penangite this morning at Taman Desaria, Sungai Ara.

Can you imagine living in front of that?

Now it is revealed that it is lgE administration not KTK administration which classified all the hillslope projects above 250ft sea level as special projects. The blame game start again!! Chow Kon Yeow said “special projects” was an escape clause for development in areas exceeding 250ft and on hillslopes with gradients of more than 25 degrees. “In 2009, we defined special projects’ as projects approved prior to the adoption of the plan and those on land zoned for residential use. “The increase of approvals for projects above 250ft did not start with us.

The documents are available for public viewing from 2 July to 13 July. The decision to allow public viewing most probably come about after my revelation in this blog that all the info can be found in public domain. To avoid further embarrassment, lgE has not choice but to reveal the truth and pretend nothing has happened.

We were told that there are 31 hillslope project above 250ft approved before 2008. Today the number drop to 19 for unknown reason and only one not 31 projects, is approved as “projek istimewa”. lgE ever said because of the “projek istimewa” status, the MPPP have to approved the project. After my discovery that the so called “projek istimewa” is list as “projek biasa”, now only 1 project is classified as “projek istimewa”. Really don’t know which one is so special!

There is a bit of confusion over the number of hillslope projects above 250ft sea level approved before 2008. Now the number is 37, the 19 are approval by lgE administration for amendments to the original proposal. The special project is the Nadayu project at Bukit Gambier, which is situated at a class 4 slope. One question why a 31-storey high-rise residential development which posed high risk to the vicinity is granted a special project status – an escape clause an escape clause for development in areas exceeding 250ft and on hillslopes with gradients of more than 25 degrees.

Ooop! Wrong again. The special project is at Lintang Bukit Gambier only 19 storey. This Nadayu is 31 storey at class 4 slope and is approved by lgE and it is above 250ft sea level. On what justification this Nadayu is granted the approval? n Special project status too?

The hill itself is above 250ft sea level. To need lgE’s requirement, the developer try to cut the hill and build below 250ft, which is totally non-sense. I am planning to make a video to show how the project go against the hillslope requirements. Word alone is not enough to show the problem. If BN decide to use the video against PR and lgE, don’t blame me….

The hill is above 250ft sea level as confirmed by the developer in a news report. What the developer try to achieve is to cut some where middle of the hill and build the condo there without violating lgE’s 250ft requirement. The hillslope guidelines require a setback or buffer zone from the edge of the hill same length as the height of the slope, which is quite difficult to meet. Which mean you need to cut large portion of the hill and it is too costly.

This is a typical case where after lgE administration revised the development density and plot ratio, the developer took opportunity to make amendment to their original plan. But what are the justification behind the revise of plot ratio and development density when the state government totally ignore the traffic flow, the capacity of existing amenity????????

You are a loser in TungLang vs Sze Tho debates. You lost the debate when you start diverting the attention by criticizing TungLang communication ability in English. Because you have no relevant points to raise or counter.

Unless, the hidden agenda of such thinking, intentionally or subconsciously based on fear or idol-worshipping is for an ulterior motive, voluntarily or peer / social pressures.

What he said was very right. This is private property just like KBP which was sold off to the developer by the previous Geelakan KTK and a court order stating that the developer is the rightful owner. And when PR negotiated a good deal of a double storey house, community hall and land for temple yet there are still many greedy residents who are not satisfied. As long as development is balance, what is there to complain. You cannot have it your way all the way.

2 blocks of 20 storey medium cost apartment type- C2 (608 UNIT) on LOT 1079 (PT 249), MUKIM 10, DAERAH BARAT DAYA, SUNGAI ARA, LILITAN SUNGAI ARA, JALAN DATO ISMAIL HASHIM, if you don’t suffer enough with all the construction activities going on, please vote for your idol. No problem with me, if your 2 or 3 storey properties still can sell why worry! If your bike can beat the traffic why worry? Don’t drive car!

Ha, Ha, Ha! To buy these super-priced properties of richieman Bing Chui but end up having to ride “kapchai” motorbikes to work due to poorly planned traffic dispersal after the fact of moving-in. What a way to live in Cosmopolitan Penang!!!

It doesn’t make any fundamental sense: to spend half a million or millions but end up going around on kapchai. Is this the lifelong expectation of Kia Su millionaires or wannabes dictated by greedy developers of “I don’t care as long as I earn your hard earned or borrowed millions!” Such contradictions of the Kia Su with smart alec mentality but no sense of self worth! Might as well use the hard earned monies to build a mini istana with orchards in Sungai Petani as what Kee suggested many times to Penang Kia Su Lang. Want any proof? May Kee… Read more »

Make sure that they are safe with the kapchai as too many lorries plying the single access road.

Then also make sure they demand accident insurance coverage for entire life before signing the million ringgit S&P.
Cats with 9 lives are still better off than us Kia Su with no improvement of attaining Bing Chui lifestyle of living dangerously!
I always envy the Siamese cats or local cats lazying in the front porch of Malay kampung houses in Balik Pulau.

Another madness to build a block of 39 storey medium cost apartment (434 UNIT) on LOT 634, 635 DAN 20002, MUKIM 10, DAERAH BARAT DAYA, CHANGKAT SUNGAI ARA 6. Can image what this lgE has in his mind when he mold his vision for Penangites.

Proposal to build 2 blocks of 26 storey medium cost apartment type B1 (672 UNIT) on LOT PT 252 (LOT 1082), part of original LOT PT 2568, MK. 10, D.B.D., JALAN DATO ISMAIL HASHIM/JALAN PAYA TERUBONG, SUNGAI ARA. All this bad planning totally disregard for the original characteristic of the nearby resident areas, it will also caused serious traffic congestion.

if you can’t stand this project which consists of 2 block of 13 storey condos with 104 units and a block of 16 storey condo (64 UNIT) on LOT 14345, MUKIM 12, DBD, PERSIARAN KELICAP, SG ARA. There is no reason why you guys should tolerate the rest of bad projects that are in the pipeline. (Stop them) now before the election, it is now or never.

How come lgE said that this project is categorized as “projek istemewa” when it is listed as A – Projek Biasa?
The resident won this battle but at this Persiaran Kelicap there is proposals to build a 31 storey apartment, a 25 storey apartment with 176 units, a 26 storey apartment with 181units, a 26 storey apartment with 181 units. Seem like the residents going to lose a war after they won the battle against this project.
