lItEJADIAN tanah runtuh di Bu-kit Antarabangsa berIaku lag!bingga mengancam kehidupan

5,000 penduduk sekitar. Bagaimana Da-tuk melihat senarili tanab runtuh me-nglkut perspektifkementertan di situ?

Pembangunan dl kawasan Buklt Anta.rabangsa sebenarnya sudah lama dilulus.kan, ialtu sejak 30tahun laIu. Pada masa ltu,Majlis Perbandaran Ampang Jaya (yangturut mentadbir kawasan Bukit Antara.bangsa) belum ada lag! dan kelulusan pem-bangunan di situ dikeluarkan oleh MajlisDaerab Gombak, iaitu satu.satunya plhakberlmasa tempatan yang meluluskan ca-dangan kemajuan dl kawasan ltu. Saya tI-dak Iabu sarna ada..pada masa jtu, majlisdaerah ini mempunyal pegawai yang ber-kaIlber. Lazimoya daIarn perancangan se-suatu pembangunan, pemaju dan golonganprofeslonaI lain sepert! pegawai perancang,jurutera dan sehagainya akan menghantarpelan -perancangan pembangunan kepadaplhak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) sebelumdiluluskan. Ketika itu pembangunan tldakrancak dan tlada perkara yang mengganggudl kawasan itu. Mungkin pada masa di.Iuluskan, mereka tldak cukup pakar sertamempunyai pandangan jauh mengenal apayang berlaku pada masa depan. Pada masaitu, tldak banyak pembangunan, tldak nam.pak sebarang rtsiko, ada potensi -untuk ber.kembang dan ada pula perminlaan daripadapembeli sehingga terns membanguo.

Plhakberkuasa dan pemaju sepertltldak peka dan mengambll Iktlbar In-slden sebelum 1nI, termasuk tragediHighland Towers pada 1993, tlada lang-kab tegas bag! mengelak rtslko ternsberlaku?

Blasanya, apabila sesuatu tanda tanahruntuh berlaku, pibak berkuasa 8.kah se-gera datang ke lokasl dan buat kajlan sertamengambll langkah !ertentu. Bagi kesyang tldak selama! dan berbahaya akandiumumkan kepada penghuni mengenaisltuasi sebenar. Selain ltu, kementerlansebenarnya sudah keluarkan banyak aktadan garis panduan sejak 1997 mengenaipembangunan di kawasan tanab tinggi danlereng buklt. DaIam garis panduan ltu, kltaselaraskan sepertl dengan plhak Jabatan

Jlka ada projek lain yang di.kesan mungkin la dilakukah tanpa men-dapat kelulusan atau kegiatan haram. Ma.lab, JKRjuga mempunyai kepakaran memobuat kajlan terhadap cerun bertsiko.
