"Why was this announcement made during the election period, and not at any point earlier?" KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 2): Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia has questioned the right of Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari (pictured) to reject the application for the proposed Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link (PJD Link) project, since he is currently only the caretaker Selangor menteri besar.
The four, who are part of the "Say No to PJD Link" movement led by lawyer T Chakaravarthi, in a statement on Wednesday (Aug 2) said while they welcome the caretaker Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari's announcement of the cancellation of the project, they noted that there are subsequent news quoting Amirudin as saying that the project may be revived if some conditions are met.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said the decision was made as the administration is “not satisfied with the plans proposed”, especially in relation to its social impact on Petaling Jaya residents.
