/MI ERDANG MCA chairman Datuk Liew Yuen
Keong has urged the Subang Jaya
auf Municipal Council (MPSJ) to build road
humps in the Seri Kembangan commercial
centre to reduce accidents.
The council should work with the police to
identify accident-prone sites and dangerous
junctions," he said.
Choo Kok Man, 46, said he moved into a
shoplot along Jalan PSK4 in the commercial
area seven months ago and had so far witnessed three accidents.
"I once saw a hit-and-run accident where
the victim was an old man," he said.
Jeffrey Chan, who works as a chef at one of
the restaurants in Jalan PSK4, said he often saw
youths speeding on their motorcycles at
night.
"Some of them frequent the cybercafes in
the area. I have noticed that there are fewer
accidents in Jalan PSK 8 where road humps
have been built," he said.
The council should work
with the police to identify
accident-prone sites and
dangerous junctions.
- DATUK LIEW YUEN KEONG
Seri Kembangan Federal Village Security
and Development Committee chairman Tang
Kim Loy said he would write to MPSJ on this
matter.
Meanwhile, Liew said the Health Ministry
has given the green light for a 1 Malaysia clinic
to be set up in Seri Kembangan.
"This will benefit the poor as some find it
inconvenient to seek treatment at the polyclinic in Taman Muhibbah.
"We are looking for suitable shoplots. The
clinic is scheduled to begin operations by the
end of this year," he said, adding that 1 Malaysia
clinics were presently available in Sri Pulai,
Balakong, Taman Lestari Perdana and Bandar
Putra Permai.
