（光华日报北海1日讯）因反对双溪育收费站收费一事而促使州政府拟出的三项交替计划中，其中州政府已在年中完成了剑鱼路通往才能园的交替道，槟州首席部长丹斯里许子根再捎来消息透露，西南路至峇东埔路段的加宽工程尽可能在明年初动工。
许博士表示，工程局已开始针对上述路段的加宽计划进行测量工作，由于不能草率行事，当局将考虑到其连带影响后才进行策划。
他是在周一中午前往北赖才能园凤山寺晋香后，向记者发表谈话。
许氏认为，交替计划是需要逐步去进行的，任何决定都需要通过收费站及大道局之间的商讨才能成行，因此从外环公路衔接至峇眼花园的桥梁确实还需要一段时间去考量，但他承诺会将此项目列入明年或后年的预算案当中。
至于提升槟州飞禽公园衔接至才能园的交替道的桥梁，以让重型车辆使用一事，他说暂时是不可能做到的，因为这是一个水力灌溉的系统，不易更动，除非动用巨额，将之重建。
许子根表示，在双溪育收费站课题上，州政府已经尽力说服中央、工程部和大道局，而最终上述收费站过路费也已经降低。

Angry residents remove barrier at access road
By GEETHA KRISHNAN
JOY turned to despair and anger when Bandar Mahkota Cheras residents learnt that the toll-free access road to the Cheras-Kajang Highway would not be opened yesterday as earlier anticipated.
More than 700 angry residents who had gathered at the barricade under the flyover before the Cheras 11th mile toll plaza and at the junction to Bandar Tun Hussein Onn took matters into their own hands by forcefully removing the blockage.
With the use of heavy machinery, they removed the barrier placed by highway concessionaire Grand Saga Sdn Bhd in 2006 and defied an order from the Selangor state government to wait till Wednesday.
An excited crowd lead by Bandar Mahkota Cheras Open Access Road Committee chairman Tan Boon Wah had earlier gathered at the location yesterday, expecting the Kajang Municipal Council (MPKj) to remove the barrier at 10am.
This came about because on Friday, Selangor State Local Government, Study and Research Committee chairman Ronnie Liu had said that the land belonged to the state and gave the council the power to act.
In their own hands: Residents tearing down the barricades yesterday.
At 10.20am, heavy machinery brought in by the Bandar Mahkota Cheras Open Access Road Committee with the help of developer Narajaya Sdn Bhd which built the road, began drilling holes into the concrete barriers, amidst cheers from the residents.
Elected representatives who addressed the jubilant crowd in the morning were Hulu Langat MP Che Rosli Che Mat of PAS, Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching and Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, both of the DAP.
Work was stopped at 10.40am when MPKj president Datuk Hasan Nawawi Abdul Rahman arrived to announce the bad news that the wait would be prolonged.
“The council has received orders from the state government to appoint a surveyor to determine who has right of way over the road.
“The surveyor will collect reports from the Malaysian Highway Authority, Narajaya and Grand Saga and deliver his findings on Wednesday,” Hasan told the crowd who booed and jeered at him.
Calls were then made to the state government to ascertain if this was true.
The elected representatives then left for Menara MPKj to view the letter purportedly from Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, asking for all work to stop and for the crowd to disperse peacefully.
“We were told to wait but the federal and state governments must understand that we cannot wait any longer. Who is Grand Saga to flex its muscles so that we residents have to live with traffic jams every single day?” Tan asked.
Bandar Mahkota Cheras residents Phoon Chee Kai, 68 and Kelly Moh, 35, said they were tired of battling traffic every day just to access the highway using a longer route that measured 4.5km.
Residents were unanimous in their decision to ignore the calls to stop work and the barriers were removed by 4pm. Re-surfacing work was carried out soon afterwards.
