Press Release by YB Wong Kah Woh, State Assemblyman for Canning on 01.07.2011 (Friday) in Ipoh:-
The Residents in Taman Kemuncak (Ipoh Garden East) has initiated a signature petition to oppose the application from a company known as Haluan Ikhlas Sdn Bhd for the conversion of category of land use for 4 pieces of land here from “none” to “Building” and the express conditions from “none” to “religious house”.
We received calls from the residents of Taman Kemuncak last week informing that the Local Council, Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh, had served the residents a notice stating that the Council had received an application from Haluan Ihhlas Sdn Bhd for the conversion of 4 pieces of land in Taman Kemuncak.
We have met with the residents last Saturday and a petition was prepared. The residents were unsure whether the owner has the intention of building a crematorium at the site. It is the view of the residents that the whole area is a residential area and shall not be used for religious purpose. The other feedbacks were that on the worries of the issue of traffic congestion together with the potential noise and air pollution.
We will continue to co-ordinate with the residents of Taman Kemuncak on this issue and arrange for the submission of the petition by the residents to Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh. We have also texted the Mayor, Datuk Haji Roshidi Hashim of the same and we urge MBI to initiate a session of hearing to hear the views of the residents.
