Status Quo for Bodhi Park

Goh Seng Chai explaining the Bodhi Park project to Shah Alam MP Khalid Abdul Samad

The Bodhi Park project will proceed as planned.

This was decided after some residents from Desa Alam housing estate who protested during the ground breaking ceremony last Sunday met the MP for Shah Alam Khalid Abdul Samad at the Shah Alam Mayor's office today.

The residents accepted the fact that land for Bodhi Park was allocated years before any houses were built at the site and approvals were given by the local and state authorities. On top of that at the point of purchase, all purchasers of houses at the residential area had been duly informed by the developer and aware of the proposed site for the Bodhi Park.

The representative of the protesters from Desa Alam Residents Association, Ahmad Shakri and other residents who met Khalid Abdul Samad accepted the explanation by the MP and other officers from the Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam.

Both the chairman of the Bodhi Park Building Committee, Goh Seng Chai and Ahmad Shakri later shook hands in front of the Shah Alam MP as a sign of mutual respect and harmonius co-existence.

Present during the meeting were representatives from the developer and also MBSA councillors responsible for the areas. The project will proceed as planned and construction expected to begin in September.
