The meeting was adjourned after both parties agreed to meet City Hall, the approving body for the project.

Until then, he assured residents that there would not be any work carried out on the hill.

During the development of Bukit OUG Condominium the developer, Sri Keladi Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of MBF only partly levelled the hill on its boundary to to build a road and put concrete covering to prevent erosion. “Now we are trying to level the hill which is in our boundary,” said Koh. When the project is completed the granite slope will be reduced to 9m and this will improve stability of the slope. On claims of traffic congestion, Neoh clarified that there would not be any congestion due to Z Residence. “Even after our project is completed the existing roads would be able to accommodate the increased traffic flow,” he said. Neoh also announced that Trinity Group would build a 800m road from PPR Kampung Muhibbah to Bukit Jalil Highway. Now motorists wanting to exit to the Bukit Jalil Highway have to pass through PPR Kg Muhibbah flats and through the former Bukit Jalil Estate. “It will cost us about RM3mil to provide the missing link. This is about a kilometre away from our project. But we are doing this so that residents in the area can also benefit,” he said.
