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

October 29, 2010OCT 29 For a past 10 years upon Malaysias Budget Day, we have been glued to a television. we have listened to each detail of a Budget Speeches as well as this year was no exception. As a Prime Minister began his speech, we waited with most anticipation. Whats to be in store for a growth of our country?But my heart stopped when a Prime Minister voiced a growth of Menara Warisan Merdeka, a 100-storey office office building that will be built between a Merdeka as well as Negara stadiums. The 19-acre mega growth project is said to include a common ownership as well as selling mall. we couldnt hold my ears.It struck me that a large construction project will shortly deplane upon a closeness of my alma mater, Victoria Institution (VI). Besides VI, there have been additionally 3 alternative schools within a closeness of a growth area, namely, Methodist Boys School (MBS), SRJK (C) Jalan Davidson as well as Confucian Private Secondary School. we was dazed for a moment before questions started stuffing my mind.Will a schools be relocated? What will occur to a trade upsurge within a area? Will a students reserve as well as health be affected? What about a schools environment? And do we need another office office building in a initial place, given that we already have a Petronas Twin Towers?I could usually suppose a large scale of a mega project as well as a outcome upon a 4 premier schools.The 4 premier schools have been a little of a oldest schools in Kuala Lumpur (KL) with VI being 117 years aged a oldest school in KL, MBS 113 years, Confucian 104 years, as well as Davidson 82 years. These 4 premier schools have produced a little of a most appropriate smarts as well as minds in Malaysia.I could usually suppose that a sound as well as air pollution, scaffolding as well as office office building equipments, overhead cranes, earth movers, heavy-duty lorries as well as dump trucks etc will pose reserve as well as health hazards to a students. It is most expected that a growth will lead to large tr! ade upsu rge as well as overload problems.While we am not opposite on-going growth for a country, a price of sacrificing quality preparation is just too most to pay.The RM5 billion growth costs could as well as should be invested into alternative areas such as mending preparation as well as healthcare facilities, reducing misery levels, as well as particularly creation hold up simpler by improved open transportation as well as greater benefit to a Orang Asli, a infirm as well as a elderly.Among others to:* Eradicate misery as well as urge a peoples standards of living by upon condition that shelter, electricity, water as well as alternative forms of benefit to a hardcore poor.* Improve a infrastructure of schools, as well as enlarge entrance to preparation by upon condition that giveaway books to schoolchildren in rural areas.* Improve a healthcare complement by office office building daycare as well as dialysis centres, as well as upgrading equipment as well as comforts in hospitals as well as clinics.* Build a genius of a infirm by upon condition that training to capacitate them to come in as well as attain in a job marketplace whilst office office building infrastructure to capacitate their mobility.* Provide benefit to a aged by office office building aged folks homes.* Reduce trade problems in major towns as well as cities whilst creation them more livable.Hence, we appeal to a rakyat of Malaysia to await as well as conflict a growth of a 100-storey tower! we am still proud to be Malaysian but a tower.* Adrian is a 4th generation young Malaysian born as well as bred in Kuala Lumpur.
