Additional Parking, Tree-Cutting and Speed Bumps

Dear Readers,

We hear you…loud and clear! That you are all against converting the green land bank into a Visitor Parking Lot.

Thank you, Tiarans, for inundating Tiara Times with your views, none of which were for the conversion.

At the last Tiara Management Committee meeting in August 2006, it was decided to drop the proposal to convert the vacant piece of land outside Tiara on Jalan 17/1 into a parking lot.

We got your message, and we will honour it, since there was absolutely no letters for turning the lovely and serene land bank into a "noisy, dust emitting, value-depre­ciating, security-risk, eyesore" car park, to quote from the many letters received.

The Management Council is now looking into the alternative of creating parking lots along Jalan 17/1, near both King’s and Queen’s Gates.

More good news for nature lovers: Tree felling will be kept on hold for the moment, and the Management will look into other methods of termite control.

The Management will also be rectifying the speed bumps to smoothen it out to MBPJ standards, so as not to cause "illness" to the bellies of our cars. Just give us some time for this to be rectified.

Since the proposal has now become a non-issue, and due to space constraints, we will not be printing any more letters on the conversion of the land bank into a parking lot after this issue. However, we will put all these letters up on the Tiara Times website. We sincerely thank each and every one of you who have taken the time to write to us.

Now, just keep your emails coming. Let us have some interesting emails, about anything you would like to share with us. After such a flurry of emails on the green land bank, TT may feel at a loss if it were to revert to the original status quo - a slow trickle of emails. So, keep in touch and keep those emails flowing in.
