SUBANG JAYA: The USJ 11/1 football field, which has been plagued with patches of barren soil for the past few years, has now been replanted with grass by the local council.

"It will take three months for the grass to grow," said Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) Youth, Sport and Culture senior assistant director Muhammad Zaki Yusoff.

The council will then carry out rolling works to ensure the 10,988 sq metre field is level.

Muhammad Zaki was speaking to the press during a visit at the field on Tuesday.

He said the estimated cost to repair the field was RM180,000 but after an open tender, the field was patched up for RM150,000.

"Field maintenance will be RM5,900 a month, which includes cutting grass twice a month, fertilisers, and cleaning nearby futsal courts."

Work to construct drains around the field to prevent water retention will be completed in three weeks.

"The field is now much nicer. It used to be so sandy from soil erosion that you could make sandcastles here," said resident Gary Wong.

He said the field, together with the futsal court, volleyball court, and skateboard park next to it, enjoyed heavy usage by residents from the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Wong, who has been living in USJ 11 for 16 years, says he now looks forward to bringing his three children to the field to play.

"It is a big improvement. I hope the field can stay like this or even improve further," said USJ 11/3 Residents' Association chairperson Jeffrey Khoo.

Also present during the visit was Subang Jaya assemblyperson Hannah Yeoh who said the field is the biggest in the area and as such is heavily used.

She called on nearby residents to monitor visitors to the field and advise them not to use it until the grass has fully grown.

Concerning individuals who drink bottled beverages at the field and leave broken glass behind, she urged residents to call the police if they see such people.

"Don't confront them. Call the police and let the authorities deal with them," said MPSJ councillor Rajiv Rishyakaran who was also present.

Yeoh added that she will be using her allocation to place more lights at the field for added security at night.

Dr. Boo Cheng Hau's Trilingual Blog: SAY WHAT YOU LIKE

PLUS Bhd., not the people, should pay for the EDL Highway

Posted: 02 Sep 2012 01:05 AM PDT

Press statement by Dr. Boo Cheng Hau, DAP Johor State Chairperson at the opening ceremony of DAP DUN Stulang Service Center, Johor Bahru on 1 September 2012 on takeover of the Eastern Disperse Link Highway by the Government

DAP Johor questions the recent annoucement by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamahad Yacop for the Government to shoulder the cost to acquire the Eastern Disperse Link Highway (EDL) from the Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd. (MRCB).

DAP Johor holds the view that neither Johor commuters nor the tax payers in general should shoulder the construction cost of the EDL. Exhausting the National Treasury. which is comprised of tax payers' money, to pay for the takeover of EDL is asking the people to pay for a failed rental economy created by UMNO-BN itself.

DAP Johor questions the rental economy for collecting tolls in the past 20 years by PLUS for virtually no work done and no servcice provided at Johor Bahru CIQ like "kaut untung atas angin" or catching profit out of thin air. It is definitely a move that would drive investors away from Iskandar Malasyia than helping attarcting any investors at all.
PLUS Bhd., an UMNO-linked company, was given the concession to collect tolls at Johor Bahru CIQ and Senai Federal trunk roads, respectively amidst protests from the Johoreans because virtualy no work was done by PLUS Bhd. except for installing Toll Plazas on the mentioned existing Federal Trunk Roads.

Due to the protests of the Southern Johor residents, Senai Toll Plaza was demolished prior to 2004 General Elections. The same should be done for PLUS Bhd. toll plazas at the Johor Bahru CIQ.

Vans and other small good vehicles have to fork out- RM4.10 while large RM5.50, taxis - RM1.30 and buses at RM2.10. Presently passenger cars travelling to Singapore via the Johor Causeway have to pay RM 2.90 to PLUS Bhd. for a return journey.

Based on the daily number of 60,000 vehicles using the causeway, PLUS Bhd. has collected between RM 876 mllion to RM 1.50 Billionin the past 20 years.

The amount collected by the PLUS Bhd. shuld have been meant for constructing a highway between the Johor Bahru CIQ and North-South Highway entrance at Pandan. Nonetheless, no work and highway service has ever been provided for the past 20 years.

Not only the Government should abolish the Johor Bahru CIQ toll collection like the Senai Toll that was abolished in March 2004 right before the 2004 General Elections, PLUS Bhd. should pay for the service which it should have provided- that is, a highway service between the Johor Bahru CIQ and North-South Highway Pandan entrance.

Therefore, PLUS Bhd. should pay for the cost of constructing the EDL highway, which connects Johor Bahru CIQ to the entrance to North-South Highway at Pandan, instead of using tax payers' money.

The UMNO-Barisan Nasional Government should explain the contents of the concession awarded to UMNO linked PLUS Bhd. to collect toll at the Johor Bahru CIQ without providing any highway connecting the CIQ and Pandan entrance, and yet PLUS Bhd. could walk away from being responsible of constructing the EDL highway.
