Pihak kami menerima banyak aduan daripada penduduk-penduduk yang menyatakan bahawa keadaan di persimpangan masuk ke Taman Setapak di Jalan Balau dan Jalan Gombak amat membahayakan kepada pengguna-pengguna jalan raya terutamanya kepada penduduk-penduduk di kawasan Jalan Balau / Taman Setapak.
On 15 June 2009 the Ministry of Wilayah Persekutuan has informed Parliament that the upgrading of Jalan Genting Kelang and Jalan Gombak has escalated to RM108, 643, 726.50 in HERE. The original contract cost was only RM30.8 million and it was supposed to have been completed on 10 May 2009. But it was not to be. It was finally completed in December 2010 but not without pressure.
I believe that DBKL did not impose any penalty for the delay from 10 May 2009 to 31 December 2010, a good 17 months delay! Well, I am not surprised that JKA like Jabatan Bangunan is also very “contractor friendly”!
