1505: TNB contractors are disregarding a Selangor state government order and going ahead with the construction of a structure. “This land is state land,” insists a furious Selangor exco member Elizabeth Wong, when contacted.
“Real corporate bullies. Refused to acknowledge local council stop work order, kata see you in court some more.”
This is an apparent breach of an earlier agreement to postpone work until the Selangor government could reach a settlement with TNB regarding alternative routes for high tension cables.
I ask Wong why the contractors are so adamant about building now.
“Ask (Energy Minister) Peter Chin,” she replies. “This is what happens when we are held ransom by (corporate) monopolies e.g. energy, water, waste, now sewage.”
1449: “Wahliao, xxx tried to knock me down with his car,” Wong exclaims.
