This letter is written in response to The Star ’s article ‘Amendment process continues, says Mayor’ (Oct 3, 2014) where MBPJ Mayor Alinah Ahmad said the Petaling Jaya Local Plan 1 and 2 (RTPJ 1 and 2) amendment exercise will go ahead.

The Star recently published an article on the Kinrara Damansara Expressway (Kidex), with residents voicing their support for the highway while quoting an unnamed spokesperson from Kidex Sdn Bhd on the need for Kidex to alleviate traffic congestion. The report is flawed and not objective to the true picture of the damage Kidex will do to the city of Petaling Jaya.
