SMART Project (5)

"Water seepage is common in any project if it is below the water table…”

I’m no civil engineer, and know nuts about longkang and stuff, so perhaps I had to take it as it is, that anything we build, cracks and water leakages are to be expected (even expect later to pay for more just to find out what went wrong before fixing it). But…

"...If motorists don’t think the road is safe, don’t use it. If they think the motorway can help them avoid congested stretches in the city and they think that the road is safe, pay the toll and use it,”

This sounds bloody arrogant to me.

Then one day it was quoted that it cost RM1.9b to build it and before you can say “BLINK” it’s now RM2.1b. One day earlier it was supposed to divert 90% of the floodwater and the next day someone else announced that it will only deal with 45% without even blinking his eyes.

So will you be surprised if KL were to flood again?

The only promise they keep so far is the Toll Collection. They even promised to increase again in 3 years’ time!
