New location sought for cemetery

By THO XIN YI

SELANGOR Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the government is looking for alternative sites for the proposed cemetery at the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve.

The Selangor state government has agreed not to develop part of Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve into a cemetery.

“We have not decided on the site but it should be within a 40-minute drive from here.

“However, if we move it elsewhere, residents of the new location will object too,” he said.

Green sight: Khalid (left) and Teresa (second from left) visiting the site of the proposed cemetery at the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve.

Together with Kinrara assemblyman Teresa Kok, Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan and Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Forestry Faculty dean Prof Dr Awang Noor Abd Ghani, Khalid visited the forest reserve and the proposed cemetery site after launching the World Habitat Day programme at IOI Mall, Bandar Puchong Jaya, on Saturday.

Since the proposed cemetery project was announced by the previous state government, residents of neighbouring housing estates such as Bandar Bukit Puchong, Taman Saujana Puchong, Gateway Puchong, Lestari Puchong and Mutiara Indah had collectively voiced strong objection.

They had been calling for the abortion of the project to save the forest reserve from being developed.

Teresa appealed to the residents to give the state more time to solve the problem.

“The Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve covered an area of 4,270ha in the past but it has been reduced to 1,248ha over the years. It is a great loss to Selangor folks as it takes centuries for the forest to grow,” she said.

Teresa added that the main objective of the programme was to make people realise the importance of maintaining this precious green lung.

Hence, the public was given the rare opportunity to go into the forest reserve during the event to appreciate its beauty.

To ensure a healthier environment, Khalid said the state would embark on several green projects, including cleaning up the Klang River, generating electricity through solar cells through a company in Science Park II and harvesting rainwater.

“In the next 15 years or so, 85% to 90% of the state will become developed cities. As such, 30% of the state land has been gazetted and cannot be developed in the next 50 years,” Khalid said.

He also said that the state would take over the elevator management of low-cost flats and repaint the buildings.

Touching on the Budget 2010, Khalid said the subsidies, incentives and assistance of almost RM2bil allocated to farmers and fishermen would benefit the people of Sabak Bernam and Sungai Besar.

On another issue, Teresa said the suggestion to construct a toll-free road linking Taman Saujana Puchong and Taman Lestari Putra is costly (RM20mil) and thus is quite unlikely to materialise in the near future.

Oct 4, 2009: The Correct and Clean Solution to the Ayer Hitam Forest Issue

Dear neighbours,

First of all, I would like to thank the press for her accurate, balanced and professional reporting on the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve Issue.

From the reports, besides learning that the issue is still unresolved, we understand that the CORRECT and CLEAN solution to resolve the issue is to REGAZET it back into Forest Reserve.

We should and we would continue to work hard in a united, responsible, professional, careful and strategic manner to protect the FOREST RESERVE.

thanks.

regards,

chee kwong

Puchong cemetery decision to be known next month

Submitted by pekwan on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

• Local

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 06:10:00

THE fate of the forest reserve near Saujana Puchong, whether it will be turned into a cemetery or not, will be known after the next State planning committee meeting on Oct 20, State Consumer Affairs and Environment Committee chairman Elizabeth Wong said.

She said the delay in the decision was due to insufficient time during the last State planning committee meeting held early this month.

“Due to insufficient time during that meeting, we were unable to address all items on the agenda. So, the matter will be discussed again at the coming meeting,” Wong said.

She also said in a statement that the panel members of the Public Hearing Committee were in favour of retaining the forest reserve. It was now a matter of formalising the decision at the State planning committee meeting before proceeding to regazette the forest reserve.

Since April 2004, residents living in the area have been opposing turning the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve into a cemetery.

They want to keep the forest reserve as a green lung and formed the Signature Campaign Teamwork with members comprising residents from Bandar Bukit Puchong, Gateway Puchong, Lestari Puchong, Mutiara Indah and Saujana Puchong.

Kubur: Penduduk tagih janji

PUCHONG 28 Sept. - Lima persatuan penduduk di sini mahu menyerahkan memorandum setelah tiga bulan menunggu janji kerajaan Selangor untuk menyelesaikan isu Tanah Perkuburan di Hutan Simpanan Ayer Hitam (HSAH).

Pengerusi Kumpulan Kempen Tandatangan (SCT) yang mewakili lima persatuan penduduk di situ, Lee Wai Hong menjelaskan, isu itu merupakan masalah besar yang masih belum menemui jalan penyelesaian sejak lima tahun dulu.

Tegasnya, sebelum ini kerajaan Selangor memaklumkan akan memberi jawapan selewat-lewatnya pada 22 September namun sehingga hari ini tiada sebarang maklum balas diterima.

"Kerajaan Selangor terus senyap dan ini membuktikan enggan mendengar tuntutan serta rayuan masyarakat di sini.

"Penduduk tempatan mempunyai kuasa untuk membantah apa-apa cadangan yang terkandung di dalam peta cadangan guna tanah Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya. Kami mahu isu ini diselesaikan segera," katanya.

Lima kawasan perumahan yang menyertai SCT ialah Bandar Bukit Puchong, Gateway Puchong, Lestari Puchong, Mutiara Puchong dan Saujana Puchong.

Tambah Wai Hong, pihaknya juga terkejut bahawa cadangan tanah perkuburan di Hutan Simpanan Ayer Hitam telah diperluaskan dari 51.5 ekar ke 147 ekar.

Ini menyamai tiga kali rancangan perkuburan asal yang dicadangkan sebelum ini.

Jelasnya, lebih kurang 90 peratus penduduk tempatan yang mewakili lebih daripada 1,500 kediaman telah menandatangan untuk membantah rancangan tersebut.

"Perancangan ini bukan sahaja menjatuhkan nilai harga rumah, maka ia akan membawa kesan negatif kepada penduduk dengan tapak perkuburan pelbagai kaum.

"Tapak kubur ini juga akan mengorbankan banyak kawasan hijau di HSAH yang seharusnya dikekalkan atau dibuat projek jalan yang lebih memberi manfaat kepada penduduk di sini," jelasnya.

Oleh itu, katanya, pihak berkuasa harus segera mengalihkan perancangan kubur itu ke suatu tempat yang jauh dari tempat kediaman tanpa mengorbankan alam semulajadi.

"Kita sudah terlalu kecewa dan tidak teragak-agak untuk berhimpun seandainya permintaan ini tidak didengar," ujarnya.

光明日報: 建墓地聽證會無回覆‧反對義山委會促透明化

建墓地聽證會無回覆‧反對義山委會促透明化

雪蘭莪‧蒲種）蒲種紹佳娜反對義山委員會，礙於此區亞依淡森林保留地興建綜合墓地計劃聽證會沒在承諾的3個月內回覆結果，因此將在本週內擬定備忘錄提呈雪州大臣及各行政議員，促請州政府透明化處理此事。

蒲種紹佳娜反對義山委員會第3屆主席李韋糠召開記者會指出，亞依淡森林保留地興建綜合墓地計劃聽證會在6月22日進行，委員會成員極力爭取參與聽證會。

當時出席聽證會的尚有雪州行政議員黃潔冰、劉天球及依斯干達沙末；儘管聽證會在匆匆15分鐘內結束，但掌管房屋、建筑物管理及非法木屋部的依斯干達沙末承諾，將在3個月內尋覓解決方案。

逾千戶受影響

“目前已過了期限，但我們卻仍沒收到聽證會任何回覆，因此委員會決定提呈備忘錄給雪州大呈及各雪州行政議員。”

理事劉成有聲稱，依斯干達沙末對他們承諾將在3個月內擬出解決方案，惟對外公佈時卻又宣稱問題將在明年初解決，因此他對這種說話不一的態度並不抱有信心及期待。

不過，他卻認為，一個負責的政府應兌現承諾，以讓居民能規劃未來家居環境發展計劃。

他提到，亞依淡森林保留地約150英畝，若在有關地段興建綜合墓地，將對紹佳娜花園、樂斯達麗花園、蒲種大道城、蒲種珍珠花園約上千戶造成影響。

居民憂房屋難脫售

“若在森林保留地興建綜合墓地，蒲種紹佳娜第10區花園距離墓地約20公尺，約相隔一條馬路；對樂斯達麗花園居民則僅相隔一條水溝而已。”

他說，部份居民房屋出現水喉問題，卻遲遲不敢進行維修，因為居民們都不知道家園未來的發展將會如何。

他補充，居民也困擾無法脫售房屋，此處屋價甚至下跌30%，原價20萬令吉的房屋，價格下降至14萬令吉也無人問津。

盼民聯解決5年糾結

委員會理事劉成有希望，目前的民聯州政府能拿出魄力透明化解決問題，正式在法理上解決此事。

他指出，此項問題已紛攘約5年，自前朝州政府時已發生，問題卻一直無法獲得解決，因此委員會希望當時與他們一起鬥爭的民聯州政府能儘快解決此課題。

他促請民聯州政府勿再敷衍居民及拖延時間，應馬上完成後續工作，還居民一個回覆。

反义山委会呈备忘录

●南洋商报

（蒲种27日讯）蒲种绍佳娜反对义山委员会委员促请雪兰莪州政府兑现之前提呈“3个月内解决”亚依淡森林保留地建综合墓地计划的承诺，勿再让超过千户的居民一等再等。

居民苦等3个月没下文

该委员会星期日上午在蒲种绍佳娜举行记者会表示对州政府失望，因为于6月22日，州行政议员依斯干达沙末出席在梳邦再也市议会举行听证会时，曾承诺在3个月内定夺有关计划的命运，惟居民苦等超过3个月限期后，却没有听闻任何消息。

为此，委员会将会本星期内前往雪州政府大厦提呈备忘录，促请州政府设下一个限期，以便为兑现早前许下的承诺，给居民一个交代。

有关备忘录同时将移交给当日出席听证会的行政议员刘天球、黄洁冰及副本给雪州大臣丹斯里卡立及梳邦再也市议会。

出席记者会的委员包括主席李书糠、副秘书陈捷夫、财政林豪杰、理事刘成有、吴治江、孙国发、欧阳榢峰及王义贺。

委會要求取消義山

（蒲種27日訊）紹嘉娜蒲種反對義山委員會下週提呈備忘錄，促雪州政府盡快擬定日期，並通過憲報公佈取消亞依淡森林保留區的綜合義山計劃！

該委員會聯同居民今日到蒲種紹嘉娜花園拉橫幅，抗議民聯政府議員們“換了位子就換了頭腦”，忘記了從前跟居民站在一起反對義山計劃的立場，不斷拖延時間且沒有下文，讓居民甚感失望。

據悉，該委員會的“鬥爭”今年已踏入第五個年頭，理事陣容也更換了三屆（每兩年一屆），可是依然無法看到義山計劃有任何改變，讓逾千戶直接受影響的單位居民大感不滿。

出席這次記者會者包括主席李韋糠、財政林豪傑、副秘書陳捷夫、理事劉成有、吳治江、孫國發、歐陽稼峰及王義賀。

李韋糠指出，雪州政府原本在今年6月22日舉行的閉門聽證會，答應委員會三個月后解決。如今3個月期限已過，雪州政府卻沒動靜。

他說，因此該會決定下週提呈備忘錄給雪州大臣和所有行政議員，也呈副本給梳邦再也市議會，希望催促當局給予明確交代，包括說出宣佈取消計劃的真正日期。

理事劉成有指出，他們在6月的聽證會上曾與州政府代表和行政議員們展開激烈辯論，行政議員依斯甘達更“安撫”他們，答應在3個月內解決問題。當時他們僅以一句“拭目以待”看待依斯甘達的言論。

他說，最近議員們在很多場合如盂蘭勝會等公開演說時，指州政府已正在物色新地點。

他指出，這讓人們聽起來好像已獲解決而漸漸不再追究，反觀州政府遲遲未通過憲報宣布取消計劃，這種做法似乎在欺騙人民。

“雖然我們事先開記者會公開備忘錄有點不禮貌，但我們對民聯沒信心了，只好通過媒體透明化處理，希望更多人看清事情的來龍去脈。”

住家義山距離僅20公尺

根據蒲種反對義山委員會說法，最靠近義山範圍的住家，距離僅20公尺的寬，等于只有一條馬路的距離！

委員會說，這些近距離的房屋，若按照市價來算，原本20萬令吉的價格已下降了30%。即使屋價跌到14萬令吉，恐怕都沒有人願意接手，讓業主難過。

委員會指出，目前最直接受到影響的住宅區包括紹嘉娜蒲種和蒲種樂斯達麗，涵蓋逾千個住家單位。其他的有蒲種山嶺鎮、珍珠花園和蒲種大道城。

目前，委員會希望雪州政府正式通過憲報宣布取消義山計劃，同時也恢復當地的森林保留地用途。

至于是否擔心政府在未來把森林保留地“又”改變成其他用途，該委員會則表示不願置評，只希望州政府兌現大選的承諾。

“民聯議員從前跟我們站在同一陣線，從前是朋友，難道換了位子，頭腦也跟著換了嗎？希望民聯實踐對我們的承諾，否則下屆大選再換人做政府。”

re: Malaysiakini: Penduduk tuntut pendirian Pakatan tentang tanah perkuburan

Penduduk tuntut pendirian Pakatan tentang tanah perkuburan

Andrew Ong Sep 27, 09 8:29pm

Selama lima tahun, penduduk Taman Saujana Puchong telah berkempen membantah rancangan Majlis Perbandaran Subang Jaya (MPSJ) untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada hutan simpan Ayer Hitam sebagai kawasan tanah perkuburan.

Ketika itu, penduduk terbabit mendapat sokongan daripada parti pembangkang DAP, PKR dan PAS.

Kini ketiga-tiga parti berkenaan merupakan sebahagian daripada kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat yang mentadbir negeri Selangor sejak setahun setengah yang lalu.

Sewaktu sesi dialog dengan pegawai kerajaan negeri pada 22 Jun lalu, penduduk dijanjikan oleh pengerusi jawatankuasa setinggan, pengurusan bangunan dan perumahan, Iskandar Abdul Samad bahawa penyelesaiannya akan dicapai dalam tempoh tiga bulan.

Dan kini, tempoh tiga bulan itu yang berakhir pada 22 September telah berlalu tanpa sebarang maklumat dari pihak berkuasa.

Sehubungan itu, jawatankuasa sementara membantah projek tanah berkuburan itu, menulis surat kepada Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim untuk mendapatkan penjelasan mengenainya.

"Mereka bersama kami sebelum menjadi kerajaan. Kami berharap mereka cepat membuat keputusan mengenai perkara itu. Kami mahu tinggal di sini dalam keadaan aman dan tidak perlu bimbang mengenai tanah perkuburan tersebut," kata jurucakapnya Lau Seng You (kiri).

Cadangan untuk membina tanah perkuburan awam seluas 55 hektar di situ, termasuk tempat membakar mayat - yang dianggap terbesar di negara ini - akan membabitkan sebahagian besar kawasan hutan simpan yang kini dimiliki Universiti Pertanian Malaysia (UPM) dan kini digunakan untuk tujuan penyelidikan.

Mahu diselesai di luar mahkamah

Menurut penduduk, hutan simpan seluas 3,000 hektar itu adalah antara segelintir kawasan hijau yang masih tinggal di negara ini. Ia juga menjadi tempatan tinggal masyarakat Orang Asli.

Kira-kira 1,500 penduduk di situ bimbang mengenai kejatuhan nilai hartanah serta pencemaran alam sekitar ekoran cadangan pembinaan tempat pembakaran di situ.

Wakil jawatankuasa sementara penduduk itu telah memfailkan semakan kehakiman pada 2006 tetapi kes berkenaan telah beberapa kali ditangguhkan.

Hari ini penduduk telah membawa pihak media ke pinggir kawasan hutan simpan tersebut untuk bergambar bersama kain rentang yang dibuat pada 2007, dengan kandungannya disarankan oleh Iskandar, yang juga seorang ahli politik PAS.

Lau berkata, walaupun perkara itu telah dibawa ke mahkamah dan tarikh untuk mendengarnya belum ditetapkan, tetapi pihaknya berharap ianya dapat diselesaikan di luar mahkamah. Berita asal

Pembetulan:

"Hari ini penduduk telah membawa pihak media ke pinggir kawasan hutan simpan tersebut untuk bergambar bersama kain rentang yang dibuat pada 2007, dengan kandungannya disarankan oleh Iskandar, yang juga seorang ahli politik PAS."

Ungkapan "Kekalkan Hutan Simpanan. Mahu Jalan Bukan Kubur" sebenarnya hasil kreativiti Haji Yaakob Sapari, Exco Negeri Selangor sekarang semasa PKR masih Pembangkang di Selangor.

Decision on cemetery in Puchong to be known in 3 months

Streets * NST Online

2009/06/23
Sheila Sri Priya

SUBANG JAYA: Residents living around the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve, in Puchong, will know in three months whether they will have a cemetery in their backyard.

State executive councillor Iskandar Abdul Samad told the residents at a public hearing on the Subang Jaya Local Draft Plan that a decision would be made by then on whether to gazette 22.2ha of the land in the forest reserve as a cemetery.

Residents living in Bandar Bukit Puchong, Gateway Puchong, Lestari Puchong, Mutiara Indah and Saujana Puchong objected to the plans to have a cemetery in the vicinity of their housing areas.

About 1,500 residents had submitted their objections against the plan to have the cemetery. The issue was first raised in 2004.

"We will inform the residents once the decision has been made. I think the cemetery issue needs to be discussed further at the state level," said Iskandar.

Decision on cemetery project in three months

The Star Online - Metro

Tuesday June 23, 2009

THE Selangor state government has promised to make a decision on the cemetery project at the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve in less than three months.

“This issue is beyond the state planning committee and will be discussed by the Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES).

“A special session will be held in July by the state executive councillors before we make a decision,” state housing, building management and squatters committee chairman Iskandar Abdul Samad said at the Subang Jaya Draft Local Plan hearing held at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) complex yesterday.

A group of 20 residents, on behalf of the Signature Campaign Teamwork (SCT, which comprises representatives from Bandar Bukit Puchong, Taman Saujana Puchong, Gateway Puchong, Lestari Puchong and Mutiara Indah), submitted a memorandum to state tourism, consumer affairs and environment chairman Elizabeth Wong and MPSJ president Datuk Adnan Md Ikshan to reinstate their strong objection against the cemetery project.

“This cemetery, if built, will be located right next to our homes. We have been fighting for the abortion of this project since April 2004. We have asked the government to move the project to a place far away from residential areas.

“This is also to ensure that the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve remains as it is to preserve the environment,” SCT member Ng Chee Kwong said.

He added that the court case pertaining to this issue had been put on hold indefinitely for the Selangor government to make a decision.

The Star: Cemetery issue a hot topic at draft plan hearing

Cemetery issue a hot topic at draft plan hearing

By JADE CHAN

A PROPOSED cemetery at the Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve in Puchong, Selangor, was one of the hot issues raised during the first public hearing for the draft local plan for Subang Jaya held at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) complex yesterday.

According to state housing, building management and squatters committee chairman Iskandar Abdul Samad, who chaired the hearing, finding a suitable site for a new cemetery is a big headache because no one wants to have one within the vicinity of his or her neighbourhood.

“The proposal is for a 55-acre cemetery that will cater to all races and religions,” he said.

“We received a lot of objections against the cemetery.

“Those that were filed by individuals were heard today (yesterday), while those filed by a group of more than 1,500 individuals will be heard at the next hearing,” Iskandar said.

Iskandar said 2,139 objections focusing on 192 issues were submitted on the draft local plan.

The issues brought up during yesterday’s hearing included discrepancies in zoning and the duration allowed for the public to register their objections.

“Some individuals and companies raised the discrepancies as their land already had a commercial status or that their buildings had been in existence for a long time, but the plan stated that they were located in residential zones,” Iskandar said.

On the LRT extension project, he said it was mentioned but not discussed in detail as it was still awaiting the approval of the state government.

“Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd (SPNB) presented a briefing to the state executive council on the proposed route last month. They’re supposed to review our feedback and present the project in detail to the state executive council,” Iskandar said.

He said the state government expected potential problems on the LRT extension project, and that the related issues had to be looked into carefully as there were many things to be resolved.

State local government, studies and research committee chairman Ronnie Liu noted that among the pressing issues raised was the need for more secondary schools and land for places of worship for non-Muslims.

“We will look into the demands and see how we can resolve them,” he said.

Liu said the authorities would also look into the suggestion of having the draft local plans in electronic format or soft copies so that they could be accessed via the Internet.

Iskandar said the issues that were straightforward could be dealt with at the hearing, but the more complicated ones had to be referred to the state planning committee.

State tourism, consumer affairs and environment chairman Elizabeth Wong was also present at the hearing.

Yesterday’s hearing received a lukewarm response as only a handful of individuals and representatives of companies and associations turned up. The next hearing, scheduled for June 22, is expected to draw a bigger turnout from the residents’ groups.
