Donald Lim offers simple solution for stalled TNB project

Good luck charm: Lim (second right) presenting ang pow packets to children during the Chinese New Year Open house that was held at Greenpark basketball court in Rawang.

 

THE Central Reinforcement Area (CAR) project in Kampung Sungai Terentang in Rawang, that is currently at a standstill, can be resolved if the Selangor government is willing to cooperate with the Federal Government, said Selangor MCA chief Datuk Donald Lim.

He said although the problem could be overcome, the state government was refusing to cooperate.

Tenaga Nasional Bhd’s (TNB) CAR project, which was started in 2005, involved the installation of 60km of high-voltage cables between Bukit Tarek in Rawang and Kampung Chubadak in Sentul.

With 1.5km yet to be completed at Kampung Sungai Terentang in Rawang, the project had stalled for over four years after objections from local residents.

“The solution is for the project to go through the industrial area behind Kampung Sungai Terentang, instead of over the houses,” he said.

Lim said this after presenting ang pow to children, senior citizens and those who attended the Selayang MCA Chinese New Year open house held at the Greenpark basketball court in Rawang recently.

He also said it was Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim’s duty to ensure the well-being of the people in the state.

“When Pakatan Rakyat took over Selangor, they promised to resolve the issue within 100 days. Until now, it has not been resolved,” he said.

Selayang MCA division chairman Datuk Tang See Hang, who was also present, said the big crowd at the dinner was proof of the people’s support for MCA.
