MRR2建新道或征地拆兴都庙,民政党与隆市局发展商寻对策

（1月29日）

民政党峇都区部同人走访了冼都英丹百杜里的一间兴都庙，与该庙宇负责人会面，以了解他们目前所面对的问题。 参与活动的峇都区民政党服务中心协调员刘华才博士指出，这间兴都庙最近收到吉隆坡市政局的通知，由于MRR2大道公司经当地居民要求已计划加建另一条大道可直通英丹百杜里，以舒缓当地的交通和为居民带来更多便利，而却可能需要征用目前庙宇的土地。庙宇负责人因此忧心忡忡，寻求民政党峇都区部的协助，希望能代与吉隆坡市政局交涉，以商讨解决对策。                            "根据了解，这间兴都庙已在该地区存在超过18年，也是英丹百杜里唯一的兴都庙，信徒除了多数来自英丹百杜里区，也有来自甲洞和士拉央一带。值得一提的是，庙宇中有一颗树内住着多条蛇只，信徒深信这些蛇只有灵性，并定时供奉它们，而大道兴建所需占用的土地就刚好包括了这棵树的范围。"刘华才表示。 "基于这间兴都庙在当地存在已久，已经有固定的信徒，也是当地信徒膜拜的好去处，应该获得保留。民政党峇都区部在当天也带同吉隆坡市政局官员和相关发展商前往有关庙宇，共同商讨对策。经过研究和我们的协调之下，吉隆坡市政局和相关发展商一致同意，将有关大道绕过这间兴都庙，不需要动用到庙宇的土地，以让这所兴都庙可以继续获得保留。"刘华才补充。 另外，该庙宇负责人也要求吉隆坡市政局能增添庙宇附近的泊车范围，以让信徒前来膜拜时有足够的停车位，也避免影响交通。民政党峇都区部将继续向吉隆坡市政局跟进这项要求。    刘华才博士也补充，民政党将持续服务峇都国会选区的居民，并解决他们的民生问题和提高他们的生活素质。 Land acquisition for MRR2 new link might lead to the demolition of Hindu temple Gerakan together with DBKL and developer came out with a solution Press statement by Batu Gerakan Service Centre Coordinator Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai 29 January 2013             Members of Gerakan Batu Division have visited a Hindu temple located in Intan Baiduri, Sentul in order to have a meeting with the person in charge of the temple and to understand the problems that they currently facing.             Dr. Dominic Lau Hoe Chai who joined the visitation pointed out that the Hindu temple has received a notice from the DBKL recently, the land where the temple is currently situated might need to be expropriated, due to the demand from the local residents who have urged the MRR2 highway company to build another road that links directly to Intan Baiduri in order to relieve the local traffic and bring more convenience to the local residents. The person in charge of the temple was so worried, therefore he sought the help of Gerakan Batu Division to negotiate with the DBKL on their behalf and look for a solution.             "It is understood that this Hindu temple has been there for over 18 years, which is also the only Hindu temple in Intan Baiduri, the devotees are mainly from the Intan Baiduri and also some of them are from Kepong and Selayang. What is worth mentioning is that there is a tree in the temple which is home to a few snakes and the devotees believe that these snakes are spiritual beings which they worship them regularly, however the tree is right under the land acquisition area required for the new highway project," said Dr. Dominic Lau.             "Since the Hindu temple has been there in the area for long and have a steady number of devotees which is also a good place for religious worship that frequently visited by local devotees, it should be preserved. Gerakan Batu Division also brought along officers from DBKL and also related developer to pay a visit to the temple and together we discussed the solution. After the study along with our coordination, the DBKL and the related developer have reached an agreement to have the highway bypassing the Hindu temple which will spare the temple from any land acquisition, so that the temple can be preserved," added Dr. Dominic Lau.             Besides, the person in charge of the temple also requested the DBKL to expand the parking space around the temple, so that there will be enough parking for the devotees who come here for religious worshipping without affecting the traffic. Gerakan Batu Division would follow-up the matter closely with DBKL.             Dr. Dominic Lau also added that Gerakan will continue to serve the residents of Batu parliamentary constituency, solve their livelihood problems and improve their quality of life.
