Oppose Menara Warisan Merdeka: And for that reason, I petitioned Adrian Ang (www.loyarburok.com)

October 29, 2010OCT twenty-nine For a past 10 years upon Malaysias Budget Day, you have been glued to a television. you have listened to every item of a Budget Speeches as well as this year was no exception. As a Prime Minister began his speech, you waited with most anticipation. Whats to be in store for a growth of our country?But my heart stopped when a Prime Minister announced a growth of Menara Warisan Merdeka, a 100-storey office office office building that will be built between a Merdeka as well as Negara stadiums. The 19-acre mega growth plan is pronounced to embody a condominium as well as selling mall. you couldnt believe my ears.It struck me that a large office office office building a whole plan will soon descend upon a vicinity of my alma mater, Victoria Institution (VI). Besides VI, there are also 3 alternative schools inside of a vicinity of a growth area, namely, Methodist Boys School (MBS), SRJK (C) Jalan Davidson as well as Confucian Private Secondary School. you was dazed for a moment before questions proposed stuffing my mind.Will a schools be relocated? What will happen to a trade upsurge inside of a area? Will a students safety as well as health be affected? What about a schools environment? And do you need an additional office office office building in a initial place, given that you already have a Petronas Twin Towers?I could usually suppose a large scale of a mega plan as well as its outcome upon a 4 premier schools.The 4 premier schools are some of a oldest schools in Kuala Lumpur (KL) with VI being 117 years aged a oldest propagandize in KL, MBS 113 years, Confucian 104 years, as well as Davidson 82 years. These 4 premier schools have constructed some of a most appropriate smarts as well as minds in Malaysia.I could usually suppose that a noise as well as air pollution, scaffolding as well as office office office building equipments, beyond cranes, earth movers, heavy-duty lorries as well as bail out trucks etc will pose safety as well as health hazards to a students. It is! most li kely that a growth will lead to large trade upsurge as well as congestion problems.While you am not opposite progressive growth for a country, a cost of sacrificing quality preparation is just as well most to pay.The RM5 billion growth costs could as well as should be invested in to alternative areas such as improving preparation as well as healthcare facilities, reducing misery levels, as well as quite making life easier by improved public transportation as well as larger benefit to a Orang Asli, a disabled as well as a elderly.Among others to:* Eradicate misery as well as urge a peoples standards of vital by providing shelter, electricity, water as well as alternative forms of benefit to a hardcore poor.* Improve a infrastructure of schools, as well as increase entrance to preparation by providing giveaway books to schoolchildren in farming areas.* Improve a healthcare system by office office office building daycare as well as dialysis centres, as well as upgrading apparatus as well as comforts in hospitals as well as clinics.* Build a genius of a disabled by providing precision to capacitate them to enter as well as attain in a job market whilst office office office building infrastructure to capacitate their mobility.* Provide benefit to a aged by office office office building aged folks homes.* Reduce trade problems in major towns as well as cities whilst making them some-more livable.Hence, you appeal to a rakyat of Malaysia to await as well as oppose a growth of a 100-storey tower! you am still proud to be Malaysian but a tower.* Adrian is a 4th era immature Malaysian innate as well as bred in Kuala Lumpur.
