USJ Residents Association Welcomes Park Plan, Rejects Residential Project Proposal
Taman Subang Ria Park is of concern to all residents living in the
townships of Subang Jaya and USJ as many uses it for daily recreational
purposes as Sime Darby Property Bhd has failed to provide additional
similiar or equivalent facilty elsewhere despite the population growing
to more than 300,000. Most have to rely on Taman Ria Park, hence our
concern for its future.
We, at USJ Residents Association is strongly opposed to any development
of the park for residential and/or commercial purposes and is adament
that it should remain as stated in the land title ie purely for
recreational purposes. Any development is strictly to enhance and
promote its use for recreation only.
We welcome the proposed upgrading of the park by SDPD but it should not
be a trade-off in lieu of the residents and the relevent authorities
agreeing to developing a designated area for residential use.
Over the years SDPB has come up with numerous proposals to re-develop
the park, which we believe were influenced by commercial consideration
and profit.
This time around is no different. It is timely that residents in
the respective townships demand that the park be gazetted once and for
all as a " green lung for the purpose of recreation only". We also
demand that SDPB fulfill their obligation and social responsibility to
house buyers and residents by adhering to the following with respect
to Taman Ria Park " :-
1. maintain the park solely as it was intended as stated in the land title that is for the sole purpose of recreational use
2. do not over develop the said area as it will cause further
congestion and pollution especially in the already congested SS 12 and
surrounding areas
3. up-hold role of leading developer by setting the right example to
upgrade the park with improved facilities for recreational purposes only
