GOODBYE RIFF RAFF, HELLO WELL-HEELED
The last of the occupants of Flat Pekeliling have yet to leave the buildings, but the developers appointed to redevelop this 15ha prime land have already dished out their plans. Yes. Projek hartanah gaya mewah, named Taman Sari Riverside Garden City, will replace the decrepit flats.
The developers have ingeniously divided the area into 20 parcels, named Parcels A through Y, where starting this month different buildings and facilities will be erected. Yes, a lot of people will be turned on by the ka-ching sound the project will bring. Construction alone will cost RM3 billion, an amount that will give considerable staying power for many, no doubt. Yup. We just love erections, don't we?
There will be condominiums, townhouses, hotels, shopping complexes, service apartments, offices -- all come with the adjective mewah. I suppose the demand for luxury living and lifestyle is ever on the rise. So, get rid of the riff raff. Let them go stay in the backwoods of Setapak Jaya for all DBKL cares. Bring in the well-heeled. For the sake of the well-heeled, let's hope that the project will be completed. We don't want another eyesore in that area, like the all-suite office building that another developer started there almost a decade ago.
I hope DBKL has also included brilliant plans to ease traffic in that area, especially when construction starts. I can imagine the bottleneck that all rate and taxpayers like me have to go through everyday will get many times worse than it already is.
But hey, ka-ching rules, once again.
