“Know one’s enemies and plan for dangers that may occur from far and near” - Wang Xian Ming, The Art of War

The power of one, The power of one people, The power of one local council, The power of one state government And the power of one federal government for the people.

One man stood up to the might of the British Empire and they with all their might the British walked out of India. Mahatma Gandhi, one man.

Of all people, this one Indian expatriate, Anand Subramaniam of Kidex Sdn Bhd, the concessionaire of the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway, should know the power of one. He said the Say No to Kidex is a “small group of people” ( The Malay Mail Online Sunday Nov 14, 2014) against Kidex Skyway. Yes, we are one, the power of one small group of people in Petaling Jaya.

We all know you, your company, your concession, your group and the many cronies who are behind the Kidex Skyway. This is the multimedia age where the news on all of you is out there, to be seen by all. We know your virtues and vices, perhaps better than you know them yourselves.

One, do not challenge us. We have not gone to the streets as yet, even when our members wanted it, even when politicians from both sides (government and opposition) asked us to do it. You say we are small? What number would you consider big to stop Kidex Skyway and if we get that number, would you stop? Name the street or the alignment we will get our people there, will you stop the plan to build Kidex Skyway, if we do?

We stand on solid facts that your Kidex Skyway does not meet international standards or even Public Works Department or Malaysian Highway Board minimum requirements. We are sure your Kidex Skyway would meet the figures in terms of profits for the cronies.

We are one; we say stop the Kidex Skyway Project. This Kidex Skyway goes against all we want for a sustainable, environmental and people-friendly city. Your Kidex Skyway will snake around the city, destroying the very life we treasure so much in our city.

We have one city - our city. We are one in our resolution to stopping this one Kidex Skyway. The power of one, do not underestimate it.


SELVE SUGUMARAN PERUMAL is vice-chairperson of the NGO Say No To Kidex.
