the once pristine grounds have now become a rubbish dump and a breeding ground for mosquitoes

is this it

This morning they removed the cabins from the playground.
Hope it is a sign that permission has not been given, and LPPKN is cancelling the project.
If the project is canceled, it will certainly be welcomed news for us, as we have been appealing against the project the past few months, despite the insistence of LPPKN that they wish the project to proceed. In fact, us residents have been portrayed by them as the villains who are against development!
Hopefully MPS will not give permission for the project to go on, and that us residents will get back the use of the playground.
Let us hope that this Aug 31 we will have a nice place to view the fireworks!

when will we know

It has been quite a while since MPS sworn in their new councillors but till to-date there have been no news about our appeal to MPS against the the proposed project. Wonder when they will let us know whether we have been successful in our opposition to the project, and that the project will be cancelled.
Meantime, the playground is rather dilapidated and waterlogged which makes it a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. At night, the place is unlit unlike previously when it were lighted up.
I guess, this coming Aug 31, we will not be able to go up there to watch the fireworks display or have a barbeque like previous years.
Fogging was carried out again yesterday. When will MPS learn that it is futile constantly fogging our surroundings, when the mosquitoes breeding in the former playground is left alone and unchecked. MPS health inspectors, where are you and why are you not doing your job? Please do something about the unkempt playground before there is a dengue epidemic!

mosquitoes breeding ground

For the past two weeks, MPS have fogged the area thrice. But what is the use of all the fogging, if the main culprit is not stopped. Why cant they realise that it is not our homes that are the breeding ground for the mosquitoes, but the neglected open space near our houses.
Looks like LPPKN is not taking care of the land which they have claimed is theirs. Maybe it is their way of paying us back for opposing their project.
Reports have been lodged with MPS about the rubbish at the site, and the waterlogged grounds which have become a breeding ground for mosquitoes, but MPS have not done anything about them. If any of us were caught breeding mosquitoes in our backyard we would have been slapped with a summon. I wonder why the double standards. Are they waiting for a dengue epidemic before they take action to do something about the deplorable situation.
