![]() Let me explain the map. The red line is like, duude, the new road!! That road skips the 2 tolls and takes 1 or 2 minutes to get from BMC and BSL to the main highway. AWESOME! But the- okay, wait. I"ll go into that later. The light blue road is the current road we're using. Or FORCED to use. Freaking Grand Saga. We have to make a whole turn to get to the main highway. The yellow road is the highway. ~* *~ 5 years ago, the developer made the town and the road and everything. He promised that there will be a toll-free road so everyone started buying the houses there. That's when Grad Saga came in. They started arguing because they would lose 2 towns worth of toll money. (Bandar Mahkota Cheras and Bandar Sungai Long) EXCUSE ME!? YOU'RE EARNING BILLIONS IN NETT FROM US! And they requested that if the developer wanted to open the road, he had to pay 200mil to them. No one in their right frame of mind would do that! And the residents were absolutely dismayed. Not only did they already buy their houses, they had to withstand the traffic jam too! Everyday of their miserable lives. Then, when the federal govt lost Selangor to the opposition, the residents started to look back on the history and all those stuff. They found out that the road belonged to Selangor not the federal govt. So the argument started with G.S. They (G.S) was forced to let it go. But not without a fight: BMC residents doused and gassed Andrew Ong | May 9, 08 10:51am The tranquil suburb of Bandar Mahkota Cheras (BMC) descended into chaos last night when police doused some 500 residents with water cannons and fired dozens of tear gas canisters into the crowd. During the melee, Segambut member of parliament Lim Lip Eng and BMC Open Road Committee chairperson Tan Boon Hwa were allegedly assaulted by plainclothes police officers. The incident occurred shortly after Lim arrived at the scene at about 10pm to lend support to the residents who had gathered at the Bandar Tun Hussien Onn intersection of the Kajang-Cheras Highway. The highway concessionaire Grand Saga Sdn Bhd was in the midst of erecting a concrete barrier - for the third time - aimed at thwarting the BMC residents from entering the intersection and thus bypassing a toll booth on the highway. This resulted in commuters having to travel an additional six kilometres and pay Grand Saga 90 sen toll for every trip [see Google map below]. At the time when Lim came to the area, the police were keeping a close watch on the residents who were gathering around Grand Saga employees working on the concrete barricade. Lim had approached Grand Saga workers and the police to find out who was in charge of the construction work. After failing to get answers, he decided to remove the wires from the machines used by construction workers to weld the steel rods to reinforce the concrete barrier (left). 'I was maced, beaten' Without the welding machines, Grand Saga workers withdrew, prompting residents to surge past riot police cordons and destroying the partly-completed barrier with their bare hands in a matter of minutes. The jubilant crowd later tossed Lim into the air several times but the mood soured seconds later when the riot police issued warnings for the crowd to disperse. Suddenly some 50 riot police took up attacking positions and there was a brief stand-off with the residents with only what remains of the barrier separating the authorities and the residents. What followed was utter chaos when Lim tried to stop a water cannon truck from advancing by standing in front of the truck. According to Lim, several plainclothes officers forcibly removed him and a melee ensued. "They dragged me aside and sprayed mace on my face. I couldn't see. Then they punched me and kicked me," he told reporters about two hours after the incident. His shirt was torn during the scuffle. Selangor state executive councilor Ean Yong Hian Wah who was also at the scene told reporters that the Lim's beating only stopped when the police were told he was a parliamentarian. Beaten in front of reporters Lim, a trained lawyer, is a well-known figure among the residents as he has been serving as the legal advisor for the BMC Open Road Committee. Meanwhile, committee chairperson Tan was among the crowd at the time of the fracas. Upon seeing Lim being assaulted, he rushed forward to aid him. For his efforts, Tan too was allegedly assaulted and later arrested. Eyewitnesses claimed that he was punched at least once by a plainclothes officer in full view of a group of reporters and photographers. Tan was bundled away in a police patrol car while a resident drove Lim and Ean Yong to a nearby clinic for medical treatment. By this time, the police had already fired the water cannon once, but when it failed to break up the crowd, three rounds of tear gas were fired. The crowd eventually dispersed. When approached by reporters last night, Kajang district deputy police chief Supt Toha Abdullah claimed that he was unaware of the police beatings. He also said that the police had to disperse the crowd because they were "menggangu tugas keselamatan pihak polis” (interfering with police security duties). In all, three residents and Tan were arrested. When Kajang district police chief Shakaruddin Che Mood was contacted shortly after midnight, he said that the police had yet to decide what charges would be slapped on the detainees. All four were released on bail early this morning. According to Tan, as of 7pm today, Grand Saga had yet to re-erect the barrier and commuters are using the disputed access road without hindrance. This kinda happened yesterday. Murderous. The G.S gave all those B.S about how it was dangerous without a traffic light so they closed it. Ah well, dumb biased policemen, helping G.S when they were supposed to *take care of the security and peace of the nation*. B.S! So today was pretty normal. dumb Kang Yao didn't show up so no cool gadgets for my PSP. I sent it to my cousin to work on it. Ah well, badminton tomorrow. And exams next week. shucks... John W.J.K
