Question 6

Q: In one of your recent ceramahs, you were very critical of the development which took place in Subang Jaya and USJ, saying that you want to put a stop to it if you are elected.

I am a small businessman operating a herbal store with a branch in ss15 and one in Taipan USJ. Although the development of Subang Jaya did bring about an increase in traffic and parking woes, it greatly benefited a lot of small-time businesspeople like myself. This I know from my conversations with the other traders in Subang Jaya, most of whom are happy with the increase in business. Also, these developments in Subang Jaya which you criticized also directly benefited lot of Subang Jaya residents by boosting the value of their homes.

How do you plan to ensure that Subang Jaya continues to flourish and not stagnate in the coming years if you were to be elected?

No decision that will please all groups of ppl ..
subang jaya is obviously over-developed and majority area in SJ are the residential area.
The decision to reduce the development and increase the quality of life in SJ would be benefit MOST of the SJ resident.

Again, such Vague answers. 'Improve quality of life'. Please lah, anyone can say that. Back it up with more concrete plans!

So you're saying that we should reduce development. That's plain stupid! If we want more green parks, we have to DEVELOP them! If we want more recreational facilities, we have to DEVELOP them! To say that we should reduce DEVELOPMENT is plain dumb. What you SHOULD be saying is that we should focus our development on xyz. Which btw, Hannah Yeoh didn't highlight at all.

She just said, STOP DEVELOPMENT, which is not a panacea for all our ills. Without development, we may have traffic free roads, but all our houses will be worth peanuts and we'll have trouble refinancing it to pay for our kids education etc. You call that QUALITY of LIFE??

SJ is over developed and can afford to waste 5 years for DAP to give it a try. At least the opp can help slow down the development a bit.

anonymous : Obviously, you're not a home owner. Yes, you're right...let us leave Subang Jaya to stagnate over the next 5 years. That's a BRILLIANT idea!

And I'm speaking on behalf of the small business owner who posed this question in the first place. His livelihood depends on continuous business, which comes about as a result of development. His ability to put food on the table, pay for the children's education, support his family!

You on the other hand, want to stop development just so tat you can avoid traffic jams now and then.

Now is THAT selfish?
