Hillslope clearing Tanjung Bungah Penang

Worried over hillslope clearing in Tanjung Bungah

GEORGE TOWN: Another hill cutting activity for development purpose is giving residents the jitters, this time in Tanjung Bungah.
Moses Wu, 39, who lives in Persiaran Tanjung Bunga 2, claimed that the hills there were being cleared for the construction of 20 semi-detached houses.
He also claimed that separate construction works had started last Sunday behind one of the two blocks of a newly-completed condominium after a few years' hiatus.
"We are worried that all the construction works might result in a landslide during the rainy season.
"There used to be greenery in this area but now the trees here have been cut down. We just hope that there will be no further development here," he said yesterday.
A check at the project site in Persiaran Tanjung Bunga 3 showed the presence of an excavator and construction workers at the site.
Wu decided to highlight the construction works following Wednesday's report of a proposed high-rise project on a hillside in Paya Terubong which had caused residents there to worry about their safety.
It is learnt that the construction work behind the newly-completed condominium did not involve hill-cutting but only the clearing of rocks and earth to make way for a service road.
The developer of the 20 units of semi-detached houses could not be reached for comment.

HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS: Jalan Lembah Permai has caved in at three locations near the Penang Water Supply Corporation reservoir
GEORGE TOWN: MOTORISTS travelling on the winding Jalan Lembah Permai, which connects Mount Erskine and the Lembah Permai housing area, will have to be extra careful.
The narrow two-way road has caved in at three locations close to the Penang Water Supply Corporation reservoir there.
Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu said the incidents occurred one to two weeks ago at where lampposts 80, 85 and 97 were located.
"It is believed that the incidents were due to heavy rains, except for the one at lamp post 97, which was due to an accident.
"The Public Works Department is aware of the incidents and is monitoring Jalan Lembah Permai, especially the affected locations," he said.
A check by Northern Streets yesterday found that red plastic barriers had been placed at the caved-in sites to alert the public. At one site, the lamppost was barely standing.
Teh said, if the area continued to have heavy rain, the situation might worsen and prevent the department from carrying out remedial works.
"The soil needs to be dry and stable for the department to fix the problem effectively. They cannot work if it rains," he said, adding that the repairs would be carried out soon.
He added that the department also needed to sort out issues such as its budget, as it was now the end of the year.
