Firm says barricade was legal

KAJANG: The Cheras-Kajang Highway concessionaire, Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, has maintained that the barricade that formerly stood at the Bandar Mahkota Cheras toll-free access road was legally constructed.

Grand Saga business development and corporate affairs executive director Zainal Abidin Ali said demolishing the barricade on April 21 was unlawful.

The Bandar Mahkota Cheras Open Access Road Committee carried out the demolition by claiming the barricade was illegal.

Zainal also said the issue could not be debated because the barricade is the subject matter of a legal suit between township developer Narajaya Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) and the concessionaire, pending a decision by the High Court. The hearing is scheduled for May 21.
