| Mosquitoes take over ex- driving range Posted: 22 Oct 2011 05:03 AM PDT A former driving range in Pandan Perdana that has been demolished has become a mosquito breeding ground and there has been dengue cases reported in the area. Pandan Perdana Residents Association chairman Lim Ah Chai said there were about 25 such holes and each was about 3m wide and a metre deep. "The holes are where the pillars for the driving range used to be," he said. Pandan Glades Rukun Tetangga chairman Terence Ee said dengue cases had been reported in the area and fogging was carried out twice earlier this month. Ee said the driving range, netting and pillars were removed earlier this year after the company's contract ended. "Teratai assemblyman Jenice Lee had engaged a recycling company to clear the area. However, they did not do a good job and left much of the debris behind," Ee said. "She also organised a gotong-royong and asked the residents to help clean up the area on Oct 16," Ee said. He said some lorries had been dumping rubbish at the spot. "What has happened to the deposit from the driving range and businesses in the area? The money should have been used to clear the area as well as plant trees as this place is meant to be a green lung," he said. Ee also wanted to know what had happened to the money made from recycling the steel pillars. "State local government committee chairman Ronnie Liu and Lee came here on Aug 31 last year to support the development of a Chinese school but what has happened to it?" he asked. Lee in a statement said the company which demolished structures should be blacklisted. "The Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) should charge a higher deposit for such a project next time so it can be used to clean up the site should the company fail to do a good job," she said. Lee said she was disappointed with some residents who had a lot of criticism but did not help during the clean-up activity. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
