CHERAS BARRIER

The barrier is again rebuilt to prevent the Cheras residence to access the Cheras-Kajang highway.
The reason is to prevent motorists from accessing to the highway without paying. Grand Saga is the the concessionaire to this highway.

For the past month, this barrier was consistently torn down by the residence there, but this time around, they met with a group, armed with sticks and are prepared for physical confrontation with the Cheras residence who dare to remove the barrier.

Though I do not fully understand the whole story and whether the concessionaire has the right to put up the barrier, but from the mainstream media reporting so far, something is very wrong.

If there is law and order in Malaysia, there is no need to resort to gangsterism. This group of gangsters, who threaten to beat up those who dare to remove the barrier, cannot be acting on their own. They must have been paid for ‘protection’.

Now, something is very wrong, if this kind of action is condone by the government. If not, then Grand Saga is not the right type of company for the government to deal with, for the interest of the Rakyat and do not talk about the mandate you had, and that the majority are with you!
Why is there such a need to have the gangsters around if we have our security force to maintain the law & order.

These gangsters should be rounded up and slapped with deterrents, we cannot allow such behaviour to perpetuate and there is no reason that these gangsters cannot be identified.

According to the mainstream media, a court order was obtained and that the concessionaire has the right to erect the barrier. It was later reported, that FRU arrived and used water cannon to disperse the crowd.

Common sense again, tells me something is very wrong here. You have this road from Cheras connecting to the Cheras-Kajang highway. How did this come about in the first place?
If the concessionaire is building a paid highway, why link it to a public road. The public road at this junction must have led to somewhere before or was part of the public road turned into a paid highway by the concessionaire by linking their portion to it? Why should the motorists pay, if they were using what was supposed to be the route they had enjoyed before, built by public funds.

We have too many dishonest businessmen around, proposing grand schemes for the interest of Malaysians and our government should not be part of it.
