MPPP’s slow response frustrates worried TBRA

Unlike the MPPP’s prompt, decisive action in the case of a RMAF hostel following a complaint from a neighbouring resident, the council appears slow to respond in another nearby project, despite repeated reminders from a residents group.
Frustrated, the Tanjung Bunga Residents Association has sent yet another email to the MPPP which it says will be its final message to the council. The group wants answers to the following questions regarding the Bolton Surin project on a steep hill-slope in Tanjung Bunga:

Yesterday, Sunday, 25 July 2010, the developer of Bolton Surin were at it again – working on so-called electrical and other construction work (which caused quite a din, by and by), when we believed that they are supposed not to be working on a rest day.
As such the questions that we have been putting to our MPPP are really relevant and require a simple answer. Can we please get an answer from our MPPP relating to our questions…  These questions are now long overdue (since June 2010) for answers…
i. Please advise us all at what time daily is the developer required to cease all work in the Bolton Surin project?
ii. Has Bolton Surin been given permission to work beyond the normal working hours?
iii. Has Bolton Surin been given permission to work on rest days and public holidays, thus disturbing the tranquility of the surrounding neighbourhood on such rest days and public holidays?
iv. Should the developer work beyond the permitted time or day, what is the penalty that will be imposed by Bolton Surin on the developer?
v. What is light work and what light work does the developer carry out when permission is given to do light work after the permitted daily hours and on rest days/public holidays?
vi. What are the machinery & tools allowed to be used during light work?
vii. Has MPPP officials advised our “blur” members of the Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Majlis that the residents living all around the Bolton Surin project are NOT in favour and strongly oppose any application to extend work beyond the normal daily working hours?
viii. We have not yet received any response from (the) Engineering Dept of MPPP towards any of the questions posed and promised to be answered by (the MPPP head).
… In the above MPPP is not even able to make simple answers to areas that are within its purview/control despite repeated requests by members of the public via their association – TBRA. What more to view its actions….
Do also note that the rains & winds over the last few days have caused the sheet coverings of the Chee Seng hill-slopes/cliffs to fly apart, thus exposing many areas of the near 90-degree cliffs in the Bolton Surin project. Perhaps a reminder by your council to Bolton to recover them and to do it well is in order.

The residents association has also questioned the hoarding of the 1Tanjong project, which restricts access to state land.
