Prayers, seminar for Beng Hock’s first death anniversary
By Neville Spykerman July 07, 2010

SHAH ALAM, July 7 — Special prayers and a seminar will be held by DAP to mark the one year anniversary of political aide Teoh Beng Hock’s mysterious death on July 16.

DAP National Socialist Youth secretary Loh Chee Heng said the prayers will be held at 10am outside Plaza Masalam, where Teoh was questioned overnight by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) last July 15 and later found dead a day later.

The Selangor MACC was based on the 14th floor of the building but shifted out months after the death of the 30-year-old political aide, ostensibly to serve the public better.

Loh said Teoh’s parents, former superior Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, and Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching will be attending the prayers.

Later the same night, a seminar will be held at the Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall to explain developments in Teoh’s case, which is the subject of an on-going inquest.

Top DAP leaders including Ipoh Timur MP Lim Kit Siang, Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, and Puchong MP Gobing Singh Deo, who is also the Teoh family’s lawyer, are scheduled to speak at the seminar that starts at 8pm.

The death of the former journalist, who was questioned as a witness in MACC’s investigations into the alleged misused of state allocations, is still shrouded in mystery.

Police initially classified the case as sudden death, indicating that Teoh had jump to his death.

But the government was forced to hold an inquest to determine if there was foul play, following widespread public disbelief and anger.

His family is also disputing official accounts and have pointed out that Teoh was due to marry his pregnant girlfriend the day he was found dead.

A Royal Commission is also supposed to investigate if Teoh’s human rights were violated while he was questioned.

But the Commission will only begin their probe at the conclusion of the inquest.

On July 17, more prayers are planned at Teoh’s final resting place at the Nirvana Memorial Park in Semenyih between 8am and 10am.

“Invitations have been sent out to associations and non-government organisations to send representatives,” Loh said.

20万，多么吸引人的数字！洗黑钱！！！

20万，多么吸引人的数字！单靠6个个人储蓄户头横行雪隆一带便能够拥有它！一个芳年29岁的男生，来自中马，今早在爸爸的陪同下现身在吉隆坡商业调查组；口口声声在我面前喊冤枉。不知道自己的户头分别过账了马币20万！说的眼眶带泪，我问他将银行簿子和提款卡交了给谁，他说朋友。心想朋友好歹也有个名字吧！从复问题，答案也是一样朋友，但是不知道名字！心中暗骂TMD，29岁人可以任由朋友领了6本自己的银行户头和提款卡，不过问！好了现在出事了，涉及利用户头洗黑钱达20万，报案书来自吉隆坡，雪兰莪，柔佛和彭亨。他说他什么都不知道！“你有做过吗？（洗黑钱），你完全没有过问朋友为何户头有那么多钱？答案：没有。朋友又没有给你好处？答案：没有。我的语气加重了，昨晚UNCLE LEONG 告诉我朋友给你100块，你现在告诉我没有？低头，不敢直视我。这个孩子玩蛋了！讲给鬼听都不会相信他没有涉案；何况他要面对的是商业调查组情报科马打，他们盘问技巧更是专业。陪同他们两父子进入后，他独自录口供，马打礼貌上应酬了我一下跟他了解案情，所有银行闭路电视和领款的ATM卡对他不利。从早上10点到下午1点录取口供，他被延长扣留，协助调查20万洗黑钱案件。他爸爸还是相信孩子是无辜的。而我做了半天傻子，浪费时间陪一个嫌犯。如果他说的话是事实，我不懂要称赞他还是笑他蠢！

披着羊毛的野狼！！

13岁的青春岁月。她应该是呆在学校内追求学问，过着无忧无虑的校园生活吧！瘦小的身躯，第一次见面，在办事处，我无法想象的到那只披着羊毛的色狼怎么可以这样下手。她心目中的情郎，转变了身躯成为了一只禽兽不如的野狼！她的贞洁，就这样在时代广场后面的廉价酒店给了它。
我望着她，感触良多，才13岁，她懂得发生什么事吗？我问她，她说不是志愿的！她选择了沉默，我只能告诉她最基本的人权和前往医院做详细检查应该注意的事项。
她的爸爸（继父）和妈妈在昨晚（23.3.2011）严刑叩问下，她承认了跟前度31岁的男友（狼友）发生了性关系。时间是晚上7点多，我在行动党武吉免登区的千人晚宴上接到了她的爸妈的来电，语气凸现焦急和气愤，因为女儿的贞操给只狼欺骗了。较后她的爸妈气急败坏的赶来宴会地点，我也现场写妥了警方的报案书，让他们马上前往半山巴警局投报。原本兴高采烈的参与宴会，被这突如其来的“奇难杂症”破坏了胃口，提早离开了宴席。接这份工作尽10年，这个案件才让我深深感触身为父母的那份责任和痛。
刚刚在傍晚5点多（24.3.2011）女孩的妈妈来电，差点在吉隆坡中央医院昏倒；原来女儿还被那只狼半威迫下口交和肛交。我联络了吉隆坡警察总部1楼家庭防范暴力组警长，他们已经在同一时间扣押了那只31岁的狼。
没有想过将事件上报，没有想过宣传，没有想过会接到这样的案件，至少我的同理心还在。
神，用您的大爱宽恕有罪的人们吧！请她快点脱离罪恶的深坑。。。。愿神赐福她和家人平安喜乐。

尊敬的拿督斯里,

要求取消兴建核能发电厂的计划

我们谨此表达槟州政府的立场，即我们不同意联邦政府在我国兴建核能发电厂。
2. 槟州行政议会也已经决定，绝不会允许有关当局在槟州任何地方兴建核能发电厂。
3. 拥有专家及先进科技的日本也面对世界历史上仅次于25年彻诺比核危机的问题，这项计划必须取消。必须注意的是，与日本相比，我国的核反应堆技术是非常有限的。再说，其它科技先进国如德国及世界第二大经济国都已经在他们的国内停止兴建核电厂计划。马来西亚人民的安危应该优先，而不是拿如此大的风险来下赌注。
4. 此外，我们对于大部份联邦政府进行的不良工程记录感到没有信心，例如发生过的不只是天花板漏水甚至倒塌的问题。如果体育馆、学校甚至巴士总站的天花板都可以倒塌，要我们如何对高风险的核能发电厂有安全及稳固有信心？
5. 我们请求联邦政府拒绝在马来西亚兴建核能发电厂做为替代能源的建议。还有很多替代能源有待开发。
谢谢.

Yang Berhomat Dato' Sri,

MERAYU RANCANGAN PEMBINAAN LOJI NUKLEAR UNTUK PENJANAAN TENAGA ELEKTRIK DIBATALKAN
Dengan segala hormatnya Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang ingin merakamkan pendirian tidak bersetuju kami terhadap rancangan Kerajaan Persekutuan untuk membina loji nuklear di negara kita.
2. Adalah juga dimaklumkan bahawa Mesyuarat Kerajaan Negeri Pulau Pinang sudahpun memutuskan untuk tidak membenarkan sama sekali pembinaan loji nuklear di mana-mana kawasan dalam negeri Pulau Pinang.
3. Memandangkan negara Jepun yang memiliki kepakaran dan tahap teknologi yang sangat maju dan progresif kini dihadapi dengan krisis nuklear yang paling serius dalam sejarah dunia sejak bencana Chernobyl 25 tahun lalu, adalah perlu rancangan ini dibatalkan. Perlu diambil perhatian, tahap kawalan teknologi fusion nuklear di negara kita adalah terhad berbanding dengan kepakaran Negara Jepun. Lagipun negara-negara maju dan berteknologi tinggi seperti Jerman dan ekonomi kedua besar dunia negara China telahpun membatalkan rancangan membina loji nuclear dalam negara mereka masing-masing. Keselamatan rakyat Malaysia harus diutamakan dan risiko tinggi ini tidak harus diperjudikan.
4. Sehubungan dengan itu, kami juga tidak yakin dengan rekod prestasi yang kurang memuaskan oleh sesetengah projek Kerajaan Persekutuan yang dijalankan seperti ada bumbung yang bukan sahaja bocor tetapi juga runtuh. Sekiranya bumbung stadium, sekolah dan terminal bas pun boleh runtuh bagaimana kita boleh yakin tentang keselamatan dan kekukuhan sesuatu loji nuklear yang berisiko tinggi dan bahaya?
5. Kami merayu kepada Kerajaan Persekutuan agar menolak cadangan membina loji nuklear sebagai sumber tenaga alternatif di Malaysia. Terdapat pelbagai sumber tenaga alternatif yang lain yang boleh diterokai.
Sekian,

MRT: RICH SAY NO; The Poor Welcome

Rich say don’t need MRT, but poor welcome it
Malaysia Insider 17.2.2011
KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 — Wealthy residents have dismissed the need for the Klang Valley mass rapid transit (MRT) system, unlike low-income earners who hailed it for its convenience.
Damansara Heights residents’ association president Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Abd Rahaman said his neighbours would likely not use the MRT as they preferred to drive their luxury cars.
“They’ll still go on their Jaguars,” Abdul Aziz told The Malaysian Insider recently.
“People in our area will not use this (the MRT). People from other areas... pass through our area to go to town. That makes the whole place jammed (already),” he added.
Abdul Aziz also pointed out that land was scarce in the affluent neighbourhood, which counts ministers, tycoons and top civil servants as among its residents.
“[There is] no more land in our area. The whole place will be congested,” said Abdul Aziz, a one-time managing director of flag carrier Malaysia Airlines.
“So we want to know exactly where is it and how are they going to plan to do it,” he added.
Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) residents’ association president Mohd Hatim Abdullah also said his neighbours were unlikely to use the TTDI station, which will be located near the TTDI market.
“People who live there already own four or five cars,” said Hatim.
He added that TTDI residents in Kuala Lumpur also objected to the 1Utama MRT station as it would likely worsen traffic congestion on the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP).
“The LDP now is very congested. During construction period, what will happen to the traffic?” he asked.
“They (the MRT stations) are both at our entry and exit points,” he added.
Hatim pointed out that the proposed location of the 1Utama station was on TTDI land next to the LDP headed towards Kuala Lumpur.
He said TTDI residents wanted the 1Utama station to be moved to a more suitable location nearby, such as the Bandar Utama golf driving range.
The driving range is located behind the 1Utama shopping mall in Petaling Jaya.
“The driving range is perfect,” said Hatim, pointing out that it was larger than the current proposed location.
The RM36.6 billion Klang Valley MRT project will have 35 stations along its first line that stretches 51km from Sungai Buloh to Kajang with four rail interchanges, according to documents released in the project website.
Eight stations between KL Sentral and Maluri will be underground as 9.5km of the Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) line will be built under the capital city.
Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) CEO Mohd Nur Ismal Kamal has reportedly said that the cost of underground works would be five to 10 times higher on a per km basis if the line were to go underground, depending on geological conditions.
Groundworks for the SBK line is due to start this July 16 and will be completed in 2016.
There are two other proposed lines under the MRT.
Hatim also suggested that the TTDI station be relocated to Damansara Uptown, a commercial area.
“It can serve Taman Tun, Tropicana shopping centre, Uptown, DJ (Damansara Jaya), DU (Damansara Utama), (and) Damansara Kim. That area’s perfect,” said Hatim.
Sunway Damansara residents said The Curve MRT station would mar the aesthetic image of their neighbourhood in Petaling Jaya.
“If you look at it, Sunway Damansara and the surrounding areas, Mutiara Damansara, are basically hot market areas,” said Sunway Damansara residents’ association president Winslow Wong.
“With the massive columns to support the MRT line, it’s not going to contribute to the aesthetic value,” he added.
Wong pointed out that the MRT station would cause massive traffic jams on Persiaran Surian, which is already congested during peak hours.
“Persiaran Surian is already very narrow with condominiums on both sides, especially nearer to The Curve,” said Wong.
An environmental impact assessment (EIA) report by the project’s environmental consultant ERE Consulting Group warned that significant traffic congestion would affect Persiaran Surian, the LDP and Jalan Semantan in Damansara Heights.
Bandar Utama residents similarly expressed concerns about traffic congestion that may potentially be caused by the 1 Utama and The Curve MRT stations.
“We are worried about the traffic,” said Bandar Utama residents’ association chairman Lim See Meng.
“The jam will be... backed up all the way to DU,” he said.
Low income-owners like the residents of Kampung Sungai Balak in Kajang, however, welcomed Malaysia’s largest infrastructure project.
“If the project does not affect our houses, we have no problem,” said village head Mohd Tahir Salleh.
The EIA report released on Monday said Kampung Sungai Balak residents may be forced out of their homes, which will be the third time they are affected by land acquisition.
But Tahir said the public display of the alignment showed that the proposed Taman Mesra MRT station avoided the village.
“It involves empty landlots... and goes through old roads,” said Tahir.
Batu 11 Cheras residents also supported the MRT project.
“It is very convenient for our area. So far, no complaints,” said Batu 11 Cheras village head Alex Neo.
Affluent neighbourhoods in other countries have similarly opposed big-ticket development projects that are proposed near them, using initiatives which are termed “Not In My Backyard” (NIMBY).
NIMBY protests reportedly stopped the construction of a railway line from Glasgow Central to East Kilbride in Scotland in 1989. The proposal had involved tunnelling under residents’ back gardens.
The MRT is an entry-point project identified for the Greater Kuala Lumpur/Klang Valley National Key Economic Area under the Economic Transformation Programme.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said last December that the implementation of the project is expected to generate a gross national income (GNI) of between RM3 billion and RM4 billion beginning in 2011 until 2020.
He had said that between RM8 billion and RM12 billion was expected to be generated in terms of spin-offs from the construction of the MRT project.
The proposed alignment map for the SBK line is up for public viewing until May 14 at seven locations across the city.
They are Kuala Lumpur City Hall, Petaling Jaya City Council, Shah Alam City Council, Selayang Municipal Council, Kajang Municipal Council as well as the Bangsar LRT station and the SPAD office in Menara Dayabumi.
The public can provide their feedback on the project via email to feedback@kvmrt.com.my or through the SPAD toll free line at 1-800-82-6868.
The detailed environmental assessment impact report has been uploaded for public viewing at the Department of Environment’s website.

Selangor likely to pick doc for DBKL advisory board
By BAVANI M and PRIYA MENON
metro@thestar.com.my Friday March 11, 2011
A DOCTOR, who is a well respected figure in the community, is expected to represent Selangor in the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) Advisory Board.
His name has been submitted by the Selangor government for the Sultan of Selangor’s approval.The rules and regulations that state the board must have 15 members, with the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry, the Finance Ministry and the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Depart-ment having one representative each and the Selangor government having two.
The term of the previous two Selangor members on the board expired last May 31.
A source said many were also disappointed with Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim for not standing firm on his decision to maintain the original names.
Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai said the Federal Territory DAP state committee had a right to nominate their own people on the board and that they were adamant that his political secretary Loh Chee Heng was picked.
Tan said Loh, who was the former Federal Territory DAP state secretary, had the support of the Selangor DAP state committee as well.
“They believe they need someone like Loh who has worked with DBKL and is familiar with the issues in Kuala Lumpur.
“If the mentri besar thinks a replacement should be found then he should discuss this with our state committee.
“He can choose to replace the PKR candidate if he wants too, that is his prerogative.
“But when it comes to the DAP, let us decide for our slot,” Tan said.
Tan was commenting on the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah’s decree that a professional with no political leanings represent Selangor on the DBKL advisory board.
He said choosing someone with no political background might not be the best option because he or she would not have the people’s interest at heart.

Palace rejects Pakatan candidates shortlisted for advisory boardBy BAVANI M bavanim@thestar.com.my Metro (Star npps)10.3.2011
Home > Metro > Central Thursday March 10, 2011

ATEMPTS by Pakatan Rakyat to finally have representation in the Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s Advisory Board hit a snag when the two candidates shortlisted by the Selangor government were rejected by the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
According to a reliable source close to Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, the Sultan did not want political appointees to represent Selangor, but instead wanted qualified professionals with the interest of the people at heart.
The source said this was the reason why there had been a delay in the appointment of Selangor appointees on the City Hall Advisory board.
The previous two Selangor appointees’ term on the board had expired last May 31.
Apparently the two candidates who were selected are affiliated to the DAP and PKR.
“The Sultan was firm on this matter and wanted only qualified individuals to sit on the board. He had requested the Mentri Besar to submit new names,’’ said the source, adding that heeding the Sultan’s request, Khalid had since withdrawn the original candidates and have submitted a new name to the Sultan.
When contacted, the Sultan’s private sec¬retary Datuk Mohamad Munir Bani confirmed that the Mentri Besar’s office had submitted the name of a new candidate in accordance with the Sultan’s wishes of having only qualified professional candidates to represent Selangor.
According to the Rules and Regulations of the Advisory Board of the City of Kuala Lumpur 1989: the board must have 15 members, with the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry, the Finance Ministry, and the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department having one representative each, and the Selangor state government having two representatives.
The remaining members must be individuals with knowledge on local government issues, professionals with expertise on commerce or industry to represent the needs and interest of the local community.
Meanwhile, it is learnt that DAP is standing firm on its decision to have Loh Chee Heng, who is Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai’s political secretary to sit on the board.
Loh, who was the former Federal Territory DAP state secretary was picked for his strong grassroots support.
“Loh is an excellent candidate for the board; he has vast experience in community service with local government knowledge.
“He is a resident of Selangor and can speak several languages,’’ said Tan.
“His political background is irrelevant as the current members of the DBKL board are political appointees from Umno, MCA, MIC and Gerakan anyway. I think what is important here is performance and Loh has proven that he is more than capable,’’ added Tan.He also said the matter had been delayed too long as the appointment of Selangor reps should have been done last June.
“Even though Pakatan government took over Selangor in March 2008, we allowed the Selangor reps from the previous BN government to stay on despite having the right to replace them, “ he added.
When asked to comment on the delay of appointments recently, Khalid confirmed there was a delay, but added a suitable candidate had been selected and an announcement will be made soon.
“As to the other candidate, we have to look at it very seriously because there must be a consensus in regards to representation.
“The person must be politically affiliated to the PR government and professionally respected too,’’ said Khalid.
The said candidate will be recommended to the Selangor Sultan for his endorsement at the end of the month.
DBKL advisory board members are appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the recommendation of the prime minister as stipulated in the Federal Capital Act 1960.
It is no secret that Selangor has been wanting to get on the board as it would enable the Pakatan-led government of Selangor to be represented on the board the first time in 30 years.
The current advisory board members
Chairman - Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail
1) Datuk Bakaruddin Othman - Federal Territories Ministry
2 Datuk Mustapa Kamal Mohd Yusof - Seputeh Umno
3) Datuk Yahaya Mat Ghani@Abbas - Batu Umno
4) Datuk Sharifah Aminah Syed Ahmad - Lembah Pantai Umno
5) Ramanathan Chinnu - Batu MIC
6) Lim Si Pin - Batu Gerakan
7) Datuk Ir Abdul Latif Mohd Som
8) Datuk Himmat Singh - EPU of Prime Minister’s Department
9) Datuk Micheal K.C Yam - Rehda
10) Siti Fatimah Daud
11) Chin Yen Foo@Banie Chin - Seputeh MCA

Selangor may replace reps on DBKL board
By BAVANI M Thursday February 12, 2009 Star Metro

ALTHOUGH the remaining six members of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) advisory board are expected to be political appointees from Umno, MCA, Gerakan and MIC, there is still the possibility of the opposition getting representation on the board.
According to the Rules and Regulations of the Advisory Board of the City of Kuala Lumpur 1989, the board must have 15 members, with the Federal Territories Ministry, the Finance Ministry, and the Economic Planning Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department having one representative each, and the Selangor state government having two representatives.
The two current Selangor representatives – Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) chairman Datuk Setia Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa and lawyer Mah Hang Yew – were appointed by the previous Barisan Nasional state government and their terms will only expire next year.
If the Pakatan Rakyat-controlled state government were to replace the two incumbent Selangor representatives with its own nominated members, then the opposition alliance will get to be represented on the board.
According to local government expert Derek Fernandez, if Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim wants to replace the current representatives from Selangor although they have not completed their term, he has the legal right to do so.
“He has the power to do that. But the mentri besar would most probably allow the current representatives to serve out their term,’’ Derek said.
When contacted, Khalid confirmed that the state was reviewing the situation and will be getting feedback from the current Selangor appointees.
“If they are able to provide value-added representation to the state then we will retain them,’’ he said.
Khalid, who is also the Bandar Tun Razak MP, said that the best people to represent the residents of Kuala Lumpur were the 11 MPs elected by the people and it would be wise for the mayor to recognise that fact.
Khalid also acknowledged the fact that the advisory board had not been as effective as it should be as members only met six times a year and the mayor could override decisions made by the advisors.
During the first meeting with the Pakatan Rakyat MPs last month, mayor Datuk Ahmad Fuad Ismail rejected their request to be represented on the advisory board.
The current line-up has been criticised for being pro-development.
The recent appointment of Real Estate and Housing Developers Association (Rehda) chairman Datuk Michael Yam and architect Datuk Ruslan Khalid as members has drawn mixed reactions from city residents who feel that they were are pro-development and may have vested interests.
The current advisory board members are:
1) Datuk Bakaruddin Othman - Federal Territories Ministry
2) Datuk Abdul Rashid Maidin - Engineer
3) Datuk Setia Mohamad Adzib Mohd Isa - Selangor Appointee
4) Tan Sri Mohamad Noor Abdul Rahim
5) Himmat Singh - Prime Minister’s Department (EPU)
6) Datuk Esa Mohamed - Town Planner
7) Mah Hang Yew - Lawyer (Selangor appointee)
8) Datuk Ruslan Khalid - Architect
9) Datuk Michael K.C Yam - Rehda

雪蘇丹旨意普通人民擔任 吉隆坡市局諮委員2空缺
行动党全国副主席兼蕉赖区国会议员陳國偉說，雪州蘇丹並未接受民聯雪州政府所推薦的兩名吉隆坡市政局諮詢委員會成員人選，所以有關名額依然懸空。
他說，根據當年吉隆坡從雪州分割出來，成為中央政府管轄地區后，規定雪州政府可以委任兩名子民擔任市政局諮詢委員會成員。 他說，之前吉隆坡市政局諮詢委員會成員一向由國陣委任，惟民聯于308掌握雪州政權后，理應由民聯委任兩名固打成員。 “可是，當時國陣成員拒絕辭職，因此我們便等待3年任期屆滿，即去年5月31日，照理6月1日由民聯代表接任。”
陳國偉說，民聯稍后向雪州蘇丹推薦兩名人選，即行動黨社青团总秘书兼聯邦直轄區州財政羅志興及前市長丹斯里耶谷的兒子依布拉欣耶谷。 “惟蘇丹拒絕了兩名人選，原因是兩人擁有政治背景，蘇丹旨意要普通人民擔任諮詢委員。”

Invitation to a MRT Dialogue With YB Mr Tan Kok Wai

350亿零吉捷运还是节运

耗资350亿零吉大众捷运在本月初于吉隆坡谷中城购物中心，吉隆坡市政局，加影市议会，八打灵再也市议会等地方开始公开让公众人士展示为期3个月。大马首相预计在今年7月开始动工。小弟因为工作关系，有幸直接参与查阅和细读穿越蕉赖国会选区的其中6个站。他们包括了从国际金融区方向穿透到《葛晋路站》（地下站）一路经过393公寓，碑律家乐福，从建中的蕉赖警区总部，《捷世客购物中心站》（地下站）衔接原有的马鲁理轻快铁站。
有趣得是捷运从地底穿出来时必须跨越克拉容河成为高架铁路，直穿南强华文小学部份地段，然后在斯理沙巴来个U转往蕉赖第一花园肯德鸡那排店铺直冲过去（当然所有被捷运插箭而进的建筑物已经收到公函，产业将被征用！）这个高架站称为《武吉丽亚》站，专为蕉赖第一花园，丽雅花园，征德花园居民而设，邻近的居民如青年合作社花园，老街场人民组屋，富都景组屋，双喜琳高级公寓等等也欢迎使用。坐落在敦拉萨花园区如登嘉园，斯理沙巴组屋等也方便使用。
从第一花园延伸至美达花园特易购面向蕉赖大路旁的一片空地将成为《美华岭站》（这片地目前为吉隆坡市政局城市交通组的储藏物和分部办事处）。届时将带旺特易购，和方便了万顺花园，美达花园内数千户公寓居民。紧接下来下一站会路经蕉赖路二手车行（安宁镇）后面的CIMB银行和这排店面说再见便到达《利双广场站》，准确的在其行人天桥的正门口；大同花园，珍珠花园和斯嘉镇居民可是乐开怀了。
第6站来到《凤凰广场站》，也是整个6个站唯一拥有250个泊车位的站。希望捷运经过了此站能够起起死回生的作用。
巴士穿行路线不足之地方。小弟解读了国家基建中心建议的捷运穿行巴士路线，确有许多不足的地方。以下是小弟的一些愚见：-
《葛晋路站》（地下站），《捷世客购物中心站》（地下站）这两个站的距离约2公里没有任何的特定巴士穿越陈秀莲工业区，蕉赖路2英里和碑律。会有巴士不定时穿越葛晋路的市政局人民组屋，葛晋路的市政局人民组屋离开这个站不到200公尺！。《武吉丽亚站》（高架站），有特定巴士穿越老街场主要道路但是完全没有巴士站（这里有约3千户住户），其图测只是在民政大厦心脏治疗中心有设定巴士站，和青年合作社花园靠近伟拉布特理公寓有巴士站。《美华岭站》（高架站），巴士完全没有进入美达花园8路公寓和组屋，这里约有5千户住户。《利双广场站》（高架站），完全忽略了友力花园班台医院，蕉赖新镇数座公寓，六哩村的居民。《凤凰广场站》（高架站）.

PLAZA PHOENIX STATION
T26-1 Alam Damai

Kawasan / jalan tertinggal
Bandar Damai Perdana (BDP) kurang 2 kilometer daripada simpang lampu isyarat Balai Polis Alam Damai. Kini merupakan stesyen perhentian untuk Bus Rapid KL.
Sila memanjangkan laluan feeder bus hingga ke BDP, pembinaan bus stand modern perlu.

Rumusan
Jalan hubungan Feeder bus haruslah lebih prihatin dan peka kepada taburan penduduk, khususnya kepadatan penduduk yang tinggal di rumahpangsa (golongan kurang bekemampuan mempunyai pengangkutan bersendirian) / pangsapuri , tempat belajar seperti sekolah Insitut Pengajian Tinggi kerana ramai pelajar / murid / guru / pensyarah dapat menggunakan kemudahan tersebut.Saya mencadangkan juga hot spot di kategorikan sebagai kawasan perumahan yang mempunyai penduduk padat di bina parkir bertingkat dan dioperasikan oleh Syarikat Prasarana sendiri (seperti gambar yang dilampirkan). Misalnya Stesyen MRT Phoenix yang Cuma ditambahkan 250 petak parkir adalah tidak mencukupi untuk menampung berpuluh kawasan perumahan dari Parlimen Bandar Tun Razak, Hulu Langat, Serdang, Dewan Undangan Negeri Balakong dan Dusun Tua.
Walaupun hampir sebahagian besar laluan feeder bus akan melalui kawasan perumahan tetapi kehuatiran ketepatan masa bus pengantara dan kekerapan masih menjadi perbincangan buah mulut orang ramai. Kesemua stesyen MRT haruslah dilengkapi dengan kemudahan asas seperti gerai penjualan surat khabar bahan bacaan, mesin penambahan nilai Touch N Go dan juga tanda-tanda jalan menjelaskan setiap laluan feeder bus.
