Puchong folks would receive RM3.1billion
IF the local draft plan by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) is any indication, there is some good news for the booming township of Puchong.
Puchong MP Lau Yeng Peng said Puchong folks would receive RM3.1billion in development within the next 12 years based on his calculations of the RM5.1bil allocation that the MPSJ has set aside to spend for areas under the council until 2020.
“Looking at the development blocks in the draft plan, Puchong takes up Block 1, 2, 3, 4, and part of 5, which translates to a sizeable portion of about 60% so this would mean a big part would go into developing the township,” Lau claimed.
“The first thing I’ve noticed is that the MPSJ will spend about RM10mil to turn the gazetted Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve into an international camping site.
“The forest itself measures some 1,125ha and this plan shows that the state government is committed keeping and maintaining this reserve.
“It’s a valuable piece of land and the state is intent on keeping it that way by making it a recreational venue of international standards with numerous facilities for campers, joggers, mountain bikers, and those who love the outdoors.”
He added that from the draft plan, he could also see that the council was serious about upgrading highways and interchanges to cope with the daily jams that Puchong is now experiencing.
