Bimbang Retak Menunggu Belah - Disaster Waiting To Happen

Kosmo! Online - Negara

SHAH ALAM - Kira-kira 1,000 penghuni Pangsapuri Indahria di Seksyen 22 di sini dilanda kebimbangan ekoran masalah rekahan tanah yang menyebabkan struktur kediaman mereka retak sejak setahun lalu.

Penduduk mendakwa ia berpunca daripada beberapa batang tiang struktur bangunan letak kereta bersebelahan blok pangsapuri 15 tingkat itu patah awal tahun lepas diikuti rekahan tebing akibat hakisan tanah di tepi Sungai Damansara.


Tinjauan Kosmo! semalam mendapati, jalan raya di tepi pangsapuri itu yang menghala ke kawasan letak kenderaan turut retak dan hanya ditutup dengan plastik oleh Majlis Bandaraya Shah Alam (MBSA) sejak September lalu.


Timbalan Pengerusi Persatuan Penduduk Pangsapuri Indahria, Anuar Pin berkata, pihaknya telah merujuk masalah itu kepada pemaju, Shanghai Realty (M) Sdn. Bhd. tetapi setakat ini tiada tindakan diambil.


Dakwanya, pemaju sebaliknya menyalahkan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) kerana menjalankan projek mendalamkan anak sungai yang terletak bersebelahan pangsapuri itu pada bulan Mac tahun lalu.



"Pemaju sebenarnya tahu masalah keretakan bangunan pangsapuri telah berlaku sebelum kerja-kerja mendalamkan sungai dijalankan.
"Sebenarnya projek JPS ini telah berjaya menghalang keretakan lebih besar berlaku selepas mereka membina tembok penghadang hakisan," katanya di sini semalam.
Anuar berkata, penduduk kecewa dengan kegagalan MBSA menyelesaikan masalah itu walaupun beberapa perbincangan dilakukan sejak Mei tahun lalu.
Seorang penduduk, Hishamudin Ali, 39, berkata, masalah serupa pernah berlaku pada tahun 2010 namun ia telah diselesaikan pemaju setelah mendapat perhatian media.
Dakwanya, syarikat pemaju telah diberitahu oleh syarikat perunding yang mereka lantik sendiri mengenai pergerakan tanah yang boleh menjejaskan struktur bangunan itu.
"Sekarang bukti sudah di depan mata. Mengapa pemaju dan MBSA masih gagal menyelesaikan masalah ini sedangkan ia sudah setahun berlaku.
"Kami harap mereka mengambil langkah segera untuk menyelesaikan isu ini dan tidak memperjudikan nyawa penduduk," tegasnya.
Sementara itu, Timbalan Pengarah Korporat MBSA, Shahrin Ahmad ketika dihubungi menjelaskan, pihaknya akan memaklumkan masalah itu kepada kerajaan negeri pada mesyuarat Majlis Tindakan Ekonomi Selangor pada minggu hadapan.
"MBSA akan memastikan sebarang tindakan yang diambil hasil mesyuarat tersebut akan dapat mengatasi masalah tersebut secepat mungkin demi keselamatan penduduk," ujarnya.

Living in fear of another Highland Towers tragedy

SHAH ALAM: Looking at the condition of the open parking lot of the Indahria Apartment in Section 22 here, many would think that an earthquake had struck.

Residents of the 15-floor apartment have been living in fear that shifting soil which has resulted in the cracks forming across their parking lot for the past three years will soon destabilise the foundation.

Indahria Residents Association deputy chairman Anuar Pin, 42, said small cracks had been detected at the parking lot, located a metre from the Damansara River for the past three years, and they had become much worse lately.

"We have complained to the developer and they have repaired the cracks many times, but they would reappear.

"We are worried now as the cracks have reached about 0.4m deep and are only 10m away from the apartment. It gets worse when it rains.

"We hope the relevant authorities will take immediate steps to stabilise the soil and not postpone the repair work any longer," he said yesterday.

Another resident Mohd Shukri Sulaiman, 33, said the cracks were now about 100m long.

"I live on the eighth floor with my wife and two children, and I worry for their safety. "I do not want a Highland Towers- like tragedy here."

Batu Tiga assemblyman Rodziah Ismail of Parti Keadilan Rakyat said in a press statement that a meeting was held on June 7, involving representatives from the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (JPS), Shanghai Realty Sdn Bhd, Joint Management Body and Shah Alam City Council to discuss the problem.

"The developer in his report said the Damansara River de-sedimentation work by JPS was the reason that the cracks keep forming, but JPS has denied the claim.

"Therefore, we have suggested that an independent consultant or third party like the Public Works Department or the Malaysian Institute of Public Works to conduct further investigation to find out why the cracks keep forming."


To other Indahria Owners, are you aware of this? I certainly dont wish this crack goes to the building!
