PETALING JAYA: Sime Darby Property reiterated its stand on the Taman Subang Ria development plan saying the park is private property belonging to the group, and not a public park as claimed by certain quarters.

Its managing director, Datuk Tunku Putra Badlishah in a statement said, "We have every intention of upgrading the 53.66 acres of the said property as a recreational park and handing it over to the relevant authorities, who could then choose to gazette Taman Subang Ria as a green lung and public recreational park eventually."

In fact, once the ownership of the land is transferred to the Selangor State Government and MPSJ made its caretaker, there won't be a problem for MPSJ to upgrade the park with revenue collected from taxes, assessments and fines in Subang Jaya.

THE Subang Jaya Municipal Council has come up with a solution to the people's  complaints of heavy vehicles parking on kerbs and blocking access to roads.

At its full board meeting yesterday, council president Datuk Adnan Md Ikhsan said the council had identified two areas in Subang Jaya which will be converted into parking bays dedicated for heavy vehicles.

BRAVO, Hannah Yeoh, for standing steadfast to defend the residents in their fight to save the Subang Ria Park, and telling Ronnie Liu that his remark to take away a small portion of it for commercial development was against the original status of the land title.

SUBANG Jaya State assemblyman Hannah Yeoh and the Subang Jaya Residents' Association hit out at Selangor Exco member Ronnie Liu for saying the latter had shown disrespect for procedural process.

Expressing disappointment, they said Subang Jaya residents had spoken loud and clear at a public hearing in 2007 that Subang Ria Park should remain a park whic
