Southern KL Waste Transfer Station ($KLT$)

Anyone who lives in the vicinity of these areas; Bukit Jalil, Bandar Puchong, Bandar Kinrara, OUG, have much cause to worry. If you don’t already know, there have been plans to build a “Solid Waste Transfer Centre” right where so many thousands of people have built their homes. That’s right. You have not read this wrong. The residents who live near this Waste Station, will have to live with the stench and breathe in the polluted air (carcinogen from the fumes?), have garbage trucks drive past their homes and as if the traffic is not bad enough already! What I don’t understand is why the “powers to be” decided to place this station right at the heart of a densely populated RESIDENTIAL area. Common sense will tell any “thinking” person that there will be a magnitude of possible problems; health being a glaringly obvious one. So, why? Is it because the persons who make these decisions are not staying in these areas themselves or perhaps they have no relations living anywhere near? Typical, isn’t it? Maybe they have been misguided into thinking that there is nothing critically worrying as technology will ensure that the stench is kept at bay, transportation will improve..blah blah blah.. But we know that a third world country such as ours can sometimes fail in ENSURING and MAINTAINING quality of the very technology we have paid millions for, rite? If I had to be crude, I’d say they are just plain stupid and will most likely have to face the wrath of these residents and not to mention the silent curses (those who are less crude) on them and on their future generations to come. Hmmph! Let’s be honest here. Everyone knows these areas are in fact a particularly-not-preferred-race-dominant area. I don’t mean to incite any politically sensitive issues here but if such things are done, such thoughts will come to an everyday citizen like myself. Frankly, I am appalled but also somewhat numbed. It’s no longer that SHOCKING. Anything can happen in Boleh-land.

Anyhow, for those who are curious and may even have interest to sign the online petition, please do visit this website: http://www.no-sampah.com. There has been recent verbal announcements of scrapping this abominable project, but you never know in Boleh-land. Thanks.
