2nd flooding in Taman Mutiara Puchong (2.02.2008)

Sighhhhhhh!!! I honestly feel very flabbergasted why residents in Taman Mutiara Puchong have to endure another round of the same anxiety and unnecessary worry of flood water coming into the house all over again......for the second time in less than 5 months.

Is it the same reason we were given before that the flood water gate was not manned again? Or is it because the said water drainage system surrounding the taman not efficient enough to assist water outflow.......or some other reason which we do not know about?

Well we can speculate as much as we can but I believe the relevant authorities will definitely know exactly what has happened and what needs to be done to recitfy and to prevent a similar incident from happening again, which in this case and hopefully not for the 3rd (third) time.

After the 1st incident on the very first day of Hari Raya 2007 (13th October)we were informed that proper measures were taken and such an incident will not occur again...........however this is not the case now.

I strongly urge all relevant authorities to work hand in hand to get to the bottom of this and to assure all residents in Taman Mutiara Puchong that such incident will never happen again, EVER.

We all pay rates, taxes and bank loans to live in developed housing area like in Taman Mutiara Puchong hence needless to say the last thing we do not expect is to be living in a housing development that can be flooded and dealing with unnecessary anxiety of the possibility of our homes being submerged and the fear of what will happen when the next downpour occurs.

POT HOLES DILEMMA

A picture is always worth a thousand words, the same pothole after numerous repair is again a "Pothole"......with the current wet weather and the traffic at this busy junction it will get worse if proper roadworks and maintenance is not carried out SOONEST POSSIBLE!

As it is now traffic buildup is a common sight as vehicles using this junction have to carefully manouvre around the pothole hence queue buildup. Potholes are evident throughout the service road leading into Taman Mutiara Puchong and I think the plight mainly the discomfort caused to the residents using this road is bordering on frustration.

It will be a great way to usher in the new year 2008 for all residents in this area if the local council could arrange for the said service roads to be resurfaced all the way thus providing comfort and the most importantly helping all vehicles to avoid futher wear and tear to the shock absorbers, tyre alignments and dented rims. Imagine paying our council rates and having to fork out additional expenditure to remedy something that is of no fault of our own.

I sincerely hope the relevant authority will act accordingly and efficiently to remedy the unsafe condition of the service roads ridden with potholes for the betterment of the community.
