[edit] Toll Dispute
The residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras is caught in the middle of a right-of-way tussle between Cheras-Kajang Expressway concessionaire Grand Saga Sdn Bhd and Bandar Makhota Cheras (BMC) developer Narajaya Sdn Bhd. Recently, the long-suffering residents dismantled the barricades erected by Grand Saga barring them use of a shorter and toll-free route into their housing area.[1] On 27 May 2008, the residents of Bandar Mahkota Cheras tried to remove concrete barriers placed at the entrance of the housing estate, this time leading to a scuffle which left five people injured. The residents have been protesting against the placing of concrete barriers at the entrance of the housing estate from the Cheras-Kajang Expressway. Five police reports were lodged, three of which were from the injured newsmen. Of the five victims, two suffered severe injuries to the head and arms.[2] Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, the concessionaire of the Cheras - Kajang Expressway, had reconstructed the barricade after it was taken down by the residents a few weeks ago.[3]
The next day on 28 May, 2008 the residents return to tear down the barricade. This time they were allowed to do so with the presence of the police.[4]
