Erosion At Puchong

The Editor-StarMetro,

Thanks for highlighting the issue in the media in your StarMetro 6.1.09 issue titled ' Erosion at Puchong pond getting worse'. http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2009/1/6/central/2933407&sec=central

Dear Cr Chang & Xin Yi,

Thank you for highlighting and bring up the soil erosion issue to the press and the relevant authorities to act before a catastrophe occurs; otherwise the Developer would be very famous for the wrong reason, and the owners of the affected houses (should the houses collapse into the eroded lake edge) would have their properties "gone with the water" and the whole Taman house value "gone down the drain".From a layman's view, the cause was that there was no sheet piling done at the lake edge. The last soil collapse reached the last corner house whose entire garden and fence disappeared, which prompted the Developer's immediate action to re-fill hundreds of lorry loads of soil to maintain the lake edge to its present distance from the lake, as confirmed by Gerard's statement.

Rain water supposedly flows into drain holes at road curbs drags with them sand and mud, clogging the holes. Heavy downpour has been causing flood in this stretch next to the lake caused by the clogged holes. Flood water over flows to the lake edge and that's how the soil has been eroded so fast. The Residents' Association has proposed to the Developer rep to install pipes connecting rain water at the curb edge directly into the lake, but was turned a deaf ear probably due to cost factor and the common "contractually not obligated" statement. Instead, the Developer has dug a trench within and along the perimeter fencing and channel the collected rain water out to the same eroded spot, which is not a solution. In fact it would accelerate the soil erosion even faster. Mutiara Puchong experienced not less than 6 times serious flooding. One of the causes was most of the sumps in front of each adjoining house was clogged by sand which impeded water flow to the monsoon drain just outside the entrance of the Taman. Rain water has to flow into holes at the road curb through underground drains to the bigger drain at the north near the TNB high tension area. This is an ex-tin-mine land and the amount of sand being flushed into the holes is massive. MPSJ has to maintain a routine schedule to clear the sump to avoid flooding recurrence.

Taman Mutiara Puchong RA look forward to the meeting with MPSJ, the 3 Developers and RA Committees, and we will bring along photos to support our findings and hope to find a solution to the erosion problem before a calamity happens.Thank you again for your unrelented efforts to help house buyers in championing their cause, which if they fight alone would never be successful.

With regards,
Steven Poh
ChairmanTMP RA
