Gov't cancels Dolomite project in Batu Caves


By Farah Wahida:

In a bid to protect the public’s interest and preserve the environment, the Selayang Municipal Council has axed the Dolomite Park Avenue Condominium project located near Batu Caves, reported The Sun Daily.
According to Selangor Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim, the special committee tasked to investigate the controversial project called for the cancelation of its approval following the panel’s meeting last Tuesday.

“In that meeting the Country and Town Planning Department also gave a detailed briefing of the development and security status of the structure and building.”

“After hearing the submissions, I decided that the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) should cancel the development order given to Dolomite Properties Sdn Bhd for the 26-storey Dolomite Park Avenue Condominium,” he said.

While the state government supports projects for the good of the people, some developments should be planned accordingly so as not to compromise public safety.

“I hope the decision will be accepted positively by all parties as it involves the safety of the public,” he added.
