Crackdown at Bandar Mahkota Cheras

First of all,I didn't blog recently not because of Raja Petra's arrestment by the police.Actually,I was quite busy recently till I can hardly find a good time to blog.But something that happened nights ago,had caused an enourmous anger in my heart and drive me straight to this blog.

Look at the video below,and you'll know why.





Again,the police were using excessive force and violence against the people,oops,not only people,even YB!

Bandar Mahkota Cheras is a hot issue nowadays.Let's just summarise the whole story and let you guys have an idea what is going on.Bandar Mahkota Cheras is a housing area in around Bandar Sungai Long.The housing area has a road entrance into the Kajang-Cheras Expressway,towards Kuala Lumpur.But the management of the Kajang-Cheras Expressway,Grand Saga decided to build a barricade infront of the road entrance into Bandar Mahkota Cheras in order to prevent vehicles from using it as an alternative road to surpass the Batu 11 Toll which is a few kilometers away from the entrance.And this had also forced thousands of Bandar Mahkota Cheras residents to take a longer route and longer time to make way into the expressway and to Kuala Lumpur,and now they even have to pay toll!

Let's look at this satelite map to have a clearer view.



From the map above we can see the blue line which was the route that Bandar Mahkota Cheras resident could use to gain excess to Kajang-Cheras Expressway into KL.And the red line shows the route the residents have to use now after the road was blocked.A 5 minutes journey was turned into 45 minutes due to the blocked road entrance,and the worst part is they have to pay for an additional toll!

And here's the land surveyor's map,that shows how the barricade was placed.



The residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras had been "squeezed" by Grand Saga and lost their rights of using roads.After 8th March,the newly formed Pakatan Rakyat Selangor government had made a plan to order Grand saga to remove the barricade as the barricade is placed on the land of Selangor state.But Grand Saga decided to play on by moving its barricade 4 feet behind the current ones so that the barricade would be in their land but not Selangor state's,to ensure the road entrance are still blocked!

And the interesting part is how on earth Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (which was directly under the control of Ministry of Works) could approve Grand Saga to do such a ridiculous decision?! The federal government seemed like they have nothing to do with this and neglected the problems that faced by thousands of residents.The police too played an "important" role to "escort" the Grand Saga personnel to place the barricade again and again after being demolished by the angry residents times and times.And this time,the police even use force and ciolence against the people for the sake of only an expressway company,not for the people!

During the incident nights before,the Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng was injured and two more residents were arrested by the police.


Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng being thrashed and pepper-sprayed by the police,a resident who was trying to protect YB Lim was arrested.

So you see now,the police together with the Barisan Nasional federal government assisting it's crony Grand Saga to block and steal the people's right to use roads,and for the sake of their crony's benifits and personal interest.Thanks for the another 51% of voters that voted Barisan Nasional.

Although I might not be at the scene at Bandar Mahkota Cheras to show my support,but still I'm with the residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras,with full support from the bottom of my heart.This is the people's power and people's rights.

Let the sound of the people roar! Hidup Rakyat!
