PJ Sejahtera congratulated T Chakaravarthi, Kum Koo Ji, S Saktiseelan and Loke Yin Pong, who were represented by lawyer Lim Wei Jiet, for securing the documents.
The residents said the Selangor government had finally complied with the court order by releasing the social impact assessment, environmental impact assessment, traffic impact assessment, as well as the project’s detailed design and alignment plans submitted by PJD Link (M) Sdn Bhd.
“This marks an important development for the people of Petaling Jaya, as transparency in how the project was planned remains one of the key objections raised,” said PJ Sejahtera pro-tem chairman, Tunku Johan Mansur, in a statement.
The group urged the Selangor government and relevant federal authorities to establish “meaningful, proactive community engagement” for future developments, so residents would not be forced to resort to judicial review applications merely to obtain information that should already be publicly available.
It said future discussions should consider issues including local connectivity, traffic distribution, emergency access, environmental and community impacts, as well as broader implications beyond Petaling Jaya.
The group also raised concerns over what it described as a structural conflict of interest in allowing project developers to commission and fund studies intended to assess the impact of their own developments.
“This structural arrangement, where project developers commission and fund the very studies meant to assess their own projects, appears to create an inherent conflict of interest that undermines public confidence in the findings, regardless of individual intent,” it said.
