KUALA LUMPUR: Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) clarified that it has no jurisdiction over the Kampung Bohol retention pond upgrade plan, which was criticised by residents.
MBSJ said this in response to an article published by the New Straits Times titled 'RM40 million pledged, builder gets prime land'.
"After reviewing the article, we noticed that the information mentioned does not pertain to our jurisdiction," it said in a brief reply.
In the article, Seputeh member of parliament Teresa Kok questioned if other elected representatives or the MBSJ were consulted in the project's decision-making process.
She said she was not even informed of the decision to develop the area.
On Thursday, it was also reported that a developer had committed RM40 million to "upgrade" the Kampung Bohol retention pond along the Kesas Highway as part of its winning bid for a housing project.
The developer will also fork out RM41.7 million for the premium of six plots of adjacent land measuring 10.84ha.
This works out to around RM69 per sq ft.
However, details of what will be built in the area remain unclear.
