A REPRESENTATIVE from Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, the concessionaire for the Cheras-Kajang Highway, was pelted with stones yesterday when he threatened to restore the dismantled barricade at the Bandar Mahkota Cheras toll-free access road.

Before the incident, Grand Saga representative Zainal Abidin was heard telling residents gathered at the Bandar Mahkota Cheras-Bandar Tun Hussein Onn junction that they had no right to open the road. He roused their anger further by threatening to block the road.
...
Residents, however, have claimed that the road was included in the Kajang masterplan while the highway was built later and therefore the concessionaire had no right to deny them access.
...

They said the closure affected their rights as citizens and the government should defend their cause.

I seldom use the work f**k you....but I would have said that to the Grand Saga guy....

Can't they earn less profit, and help out people rather than getting more profits?

...and the government is not helping much, until Selangor fell to the opposition.

Price of petrol, food, toll increases... yes Grand Saga and Federal government please help the people.
