Cabinet orders Cheras barriers removed

There is finally some good news for Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC) residents - the federal government has ordered that a toll-free access road in their neighbourhood not be barricaded.

BMC Open Road Committee chairperson Tan Boon Hwa said that he was informed of this by Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat this afternoon....Works Minister Mohd Zin Mohamed, who visited the site this afternoon, confirmed the cabinet decision to the gathered residents, numbering some 300.

He told the jubilant residents that the access would be allowed immediately and that Grand Saga would be tasked to repair the road.

The minister however was unsure if the free access would be a temporary or a permanent feature, adding that it depended on the outcome of a court case between BMC developer Narajaya Snd Bhd and Grand Saga.

My 2 cents worth: Hurray ... hope this is a permanent one, but still if the court rule in favor or Grand Saga, then all this effort of the people will be gone ... let's cross our fingers ...
