SUBANG Jaya City Council (MBSJ) has been urged to conduct a formal study on upcoming development projects in Taman Bukit Serdang to determine if the neighbourhood requires additional access roads.
Seri Kembangan assemblyman Wong Siew Ki noted that several “pocket developments” – primarily multi-storey residences – were expected to increase population density.
“There are upcoming pocket developments in Taman Bukit Serdang.
“These multi-storey residential properties will bring more people into the neighbourhood.
“So there is a need for more access routes to Taman Bukit Serdang, as the three existing ones are insufficient to cater to the expected increase in traffic,” Wong said.
The neighbourhood is currently served by three main routes: Jalan Besar, Kuala Lumpur-Putrajaya Expressway (MEX), and Jalan PBS 14/1.
She also suggested MBSJ research and planning be conducted independently of the ongoing Subang Jaya Draft Local Plan (DRTSJ) 2035 (Amendment 1) exercise.
Wong was speaking to the press at Bazar Rakyat Seri Kembangan alongside MBSJ councillor Tey Boon Kiat, to provide updates on two local improvement projects.
The first involves installation of mental health and emergency helpline signboards.
Three boards, costing a total of RM1,800, were erected last week outside Pangsapuri Kampung Aman 1, SMK Seri Kembangan, and SJK (C) Serdang Baru 1.
Tey described the move as a proactive effort to provide resources where support was most needed.
The second project addressed safety at the local market, where rusted railings were replaced and repainted at a cost of RM29,980.
The works, funded by Wong’s allocation under “Projek Selangor Penyayang” initiative, aimed to make the structures more visible and secure.
Wong also conveyed her intention to develop the market into a destination for local products and tourism.
Tey added: “As there is still space at the market’s dry goods section, MBSJ has approved 14 out of 32 applications received for traders to sell products there.
“The traders are still renovating their stalls and are expected to start business sometime in January, selling items such as cookies and paper-wrapped chicken.”
Plans are also underway to host a Chinese New Year fair at the market.
Tentative dates have been set for Jan 30 to Feb 1 and Feb 6 to 8, with details to be released on Wong’s social media later.
