It's time for many urgent debates. These 'experts' have claimed highways spur economic growth. However, highways are not free, they tax users. Highway concessionaires, developers, and many other service providers are involved in the creation of it. Have they considered the rakyat's concerns? 

Also, since so many trees are uprooted, lands taken, but no proper city drainage planning, this will inevitably contribute to landslides, heavy floods, air and traffic pollution. The city already is morphing into something unthinkable, unsustainable, and very soon, unlivable.  This year in Mar- May 2021, we rakyat will ask the 'experts' to explain if  floods near those highways, i.e. DASH, SUKE, EKVE have been mitigated, or not. 

Now, why are we only managing 'incidents' i.e. floods, traffic jams, potholes, etc, when we should be managing and solving  'problems' i.e. poor design & capacity planning for traffic service flow, lack of public transport mechanisms, incongruent design of connecting channels, unbalanced city planning, etc?  Where is the centralised change management process in getting things organised?  Where is the measurable KPIs, of governance that corporate M'sia talks about, but only lacking in real practice?  

Why are ADUNs, politicians, not talking about these issues, urgent risks?Why are they allowing the complacency of the local council management to take root? Also, most glaringly, why do we rakyat allow these greedy  developers dictate the city design? What are our elected reps, city planning council folks fearing? 

We rakyat will be continuously asking for answers and will find them eventually.  The country's economics depend on 1st world mindsets, not 1st world infrastructure that reeks of poor design.
