Abandoned projects dot Hulu Selangor landscape
Forlorn: An abandoned project near Batang Kali.
PROJECTS are still being approved
by the Hulu Selangor District Council (MDHS) although more than a dozen
abandoned ones have not been revived.
MDHS president Tukiman Nail justified this by saying that development was needed and the council would continue to approve other projects.
He said he did not want Hulu Selangor to be left behind compared to other districts and new developers would not be penalised because others had abandoned their projects.
Tukiman said new developers should be given a chance to prove themselves and the council had blacklisted developers of abandoned projects.
Among the notable abandoned projects in the district are Desa
Beruntung housing project in Ulu Yam, Lembah Beringin housing project,
Bandar Baru Serendah single-storey houses, a single-storey housing
project in Bukit Sentosa, Kampung Desa Beringin expansion project,
Kampung Melayu Rasa expansion project, Desa Bukit Bujang expansion
project, Genting Valley bungalow lots, Kampung Koskan single-storey
terrace houses, Serendah Perdana housing scheme, Erina Heights Ulu Yam, a
housing project in Batang Kali and Taman Impiana housing project.
He cited the Bukit Beruntung project in Rawang as an example.
“We want the abandoned projects here to be revived but there are no ‘white knights’ willing to do this,” said Tukiman.
In response, Selangor Housing, Building and Urban Settlers
Management Committee chairman Iskandar Abdul Samad said a catalyst was
needed to bring more development into the area.
“There has to be mixed development, namely commercial, residential and industrial,’’ he added.
Granted, reviving abandoned projects is no easy task as many issues need to be ironed out between the purchasers and developers.
