The hill-slope housing project in Paya Terubong caused mudflow to the houses nearby.

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Municipal Council (MPPP) has issued a stop work order on a hill-slope housing project in Paya Terubong with immediate effect.

The construction site behind the residential area in Lebuh Rambai 6, has been the cause of mudflow to the houses nearby.

MPPP said the notice was handed over to the developer and architect yesterday .

The developer is required to carry out mitigation work to prevent such incidents from recurring by cleaning up the affected roads and its surroundings as well as proposing new ways in tackling the mudflow.

MPPP also ordered the developer to make sure the construction site would not cause any harm to the residents.

“They (the developer) must meet with the residents to identify the houses affected by mudflow and give them compensation on the cleaning works,” MPPP said in a statement.

The council added that the developer would have to clean up the muddy roads, carry out mitigation by covering the exposed slopes and prepare more sediment ponds and drains.

It was reported that residents of Taman Lau Geok Swee, situated in front of the construction site, were fed up with the tedious work of washing mud from their porches every time there is a downpour.

A resident who gave her name only as Chin, claimed that the mudflow incidents started about two years ago after work at the construction site took off.

When contacted, Paya Terubong assemblyman Yeoh Soon Hin said he was glad that MPPP had taken immediate action.

Teoh said the RM30mil building plan was unanimously passed and endorsed in a full council meeting.

THE Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) has given the necessary clearance for the construction of the Jit Sin High School Bukit Mertajam’s branch school in Valdor, south Seberang Prai.

Municipal councillor Teoh Seang Hooi said the RM30mil building plan was unanimously passed and endorsed in a full council meeting at the MPSP headquarters in Bandar Perda, Bukit Mertajam, recently.

“The council’s One-Stop Centre (OSC) had on May 8 given its preliminary approval to the project’s building plan after receiving the application on March 14.

“This was carried out through a fast-track approval that took less than two months to process,” he told reporters after council president Maimunah Mohd Sharif chaired the full council meeting.

He said the project developer could start construction any time as it was given three years to complete the project, noting that in most cases, it could be completed in two years.

Teoh said the school project in Jalan Valdor, would feature five main structures — three four-storey buildings, a five-storey building and an eight-storey building.

“There will be a total of 63 classrooms, 14 science labs, a multipurpose hall, a co-curriculum room, library and administration office.

“There will also be a separate courts for basketball, netball, tennis and handball as well as a football field,” he said.

Teoh said the council would closely monitor the project’s construction work to ensure necessary safety measures were taken to protect those living in the neighbouring area.

SP Setia Bhd Group’s annual ‘Setia 4U Showcase’ is back at Gurney Plaza, Penang.

The four-day exhibition, at the mall’s atrium, opened yesterday and will be on from 10am to 10pm daily until Sunday.

Visitors and investors flocked to the expo to find out more about the developer’s prime projects in the northern, central and southern regions of the country, as well as those in Singapore, United Kingdom and Australia.

SP Setia North general manager Khoo Teck Chong said the property featured at the roadshow focused on the developer’s top Penang projects, including the luxurious V Residences condominiums on Gurney Drive and Sky Vista in Relau.

He said SP Setia roadshows offered the best deals and easy ownership packages for its projects.

He said more than 50% of the V Residences Tower A units had been sold while Tower B would be launched soon.

“Tower B comprises units measuring between 1,300 and 1,800 sq ft. They have both city and shoreline view options.

“At less than RM2mil (per unit), the units are for those who want to live on Gurney Drive but do not require a big space,” Khoo said at the opening of the showcase.

He said the project, to be completed by 2016, had attracted both local and foreign purchasers.

Sky Vista, a mid-range condominium, with units priced between RM500 and RM600 per sq ft, comprises two blocks totalling 426 units and separated by a sky bridge.

“There are 10 units per floor with a built-up area of between 900 and 1,500 sq ft. Sky Vista are premium homes sold at mid-range prices.

“We took into account that when people move in, they will want things like air conditioning and water heaters already in place so that there’s no need to re-do the piping layout,” Khoo said.

Slated for launching in October and November respectively, V Residences’ Tower B and Sky Vista are both open for registration and will be ready in three years. Both are freehold projects.

The roadshow will move to Johor next where it will be held on July 5 to 7 and after that to the Klang Valley (Aug 16-17).
