15 hill areas in Ampang deemed high risk

NST online
KUALA LUMPUR: Fifteen hillsides in Ampang have been classified as high risk by the Selangor government.
Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said the slopes were located near housing areas in Bukit Antarabangsa, Hulu Kelang, Lembah Jaya and Teratai state constituencies.

He said the authorities would continuously monitor these areas.

"However, we ask the Federal Government, through the Public Works Department, to carry out a more in-depth study of the areas.

"We believe the PWD is most suitable as their slope engineering division can conduct a more detailed study and formulate a more accurate solution," he said at a press conference after a briefing for Bukit Antarabangsa residents.
Khalid said the state government was also keeping an eye on the Gombak, Hulu Langat, Hulu Selangor and Petaling districts, all of which face landslide risks.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor government will reveal the identities of owners of hillslope land within Bukit Antarabangsa within two months.
Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said the hillslope landowners had been warned to maintain the slopes, failing which the state would seize the land.

The information will be in a booklet that will be made available to the public.

If the hillslopes are being developed, the identity of the developers, engineers and all the professionals involved will be included.

"The state government has written to all hillslope landowners to remind them that it is their responsibility to maintain the slopes.
"If nothing is done to maintain the slopes, the state government has the power to do the necessary work and charge the fees to the landowner.

"If the landowners continue to be hard-headed, we can take over ownership of the land in the interest of the community, as provided for under section 13(a) of the National Land Code," he warned.

"We also want to find out which areas are state land. Right now there is a lot that we do not know," he said at a briefing for Bukit Antarabangsa residents yesterday.

He urged the residents to seek a meeting with Finance Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, whom he said was the best person to help them with their requests to defer their housing loans.

On the residents' security concerns, Khalid said: "The police are trying their very best but they have limited personnel. I think the community must do its part and develop its own surveillance team."

He said it would take at least 2 1/2 years to complete an alternative access road into the area.

Eighty-one houses have been classified as unsafe for habitation by the Public Works Department until further notice, on top of the 14 houses destroyed or damaged in the pre-dawn landslide on Dec 6.

Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim explaining to Bukit Antarabangsa residents the various forms of aid offered by the state government

KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Antarabangsa residents affected by the Dec 6 landslide will be given cash and and other aid by the Selangor government.
A RM1,000 monthly allowance will be given to 81 families who have to wait for the all-clear to return to their homes.

Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said RM150,000 had been set aside for the allowance.

The owners of 12 houses which were destroyed or badly damaged by the landslide will be offered a 15 per cent discount if they buy houses built by the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS).

Alternatively, they may rent PKNS houses at a 50 per cent discount for a year.
Khalid said both offers would also be extended to the owner of house No. 39, who allowed army engineers to knock down a wall to make way for the temporary route.

He said if the 81 houses were eventually declared unsafe, the owners would be offered the 15 per cent discount to buy PKNS houses.

The state would also give RM5,000 to each family that lost a family member,.

As well, RM1,500 would be paid for each individual who was injured in the landslide.

A RM500 monthly allowance would also be given for the next three months to families who have disabled senior citizens.

PKNS will also provide coupons, valued at RM120 each, for school supplies (comprising a school bag, uniforms and shoes) for each school-going child from the 268 families affected.

Children from pre-school to Form 5 are eligible for the coupons.

For the 175 families who have been allowed to return to their homes, Khalid said the state government would mobilise staff from local councils to help them move back.

"This assistance will be provided over the next three days (from today to Wednesday).

"If the residents still need help after that, they may approach our information and help desk, which will be set up at the surau here," he said, adding that additional desks would be set up at all affected areas.

The help desks will also serve as a registration centre for the various forms of assistance offered by the state.
