Subang MP Promises Transparency and Accountability on Controversial Project
A rare street protest took place in SS14 over the weekend as Subang Jaya residents gathered to voice their objections to the proposed elevated flyover linking Sunway Lagoon Selatan to Persiaran Kewajipan.
The half-hour demonstration — the first of its kind in many years — saw residents expressing concern that the project could worsen traffic flow, create noise and pollution issues, and further burden the already congested Subang Jaya city roads.
Subang Member of Parliament Wong Chen arrived at the scene shortly after the protest to meet with the residents. Speaking after the dialogue, Wong Chen said, “I was in SS14 to meet the residents who are against the elevated flyover project. I promised my constituents that as soon as my Parliament sittings end, I will personally look into the matter and promised them transparency and accountability from the local government.”
However, many SS14 residents have voiced strong opposition, citing the lack of consultation and potential negative impact on the community.
Protest organisers said they were not against progress but wanted more transparency and meaningful engagement from authorities before construction begins.
“This isn’t just about traffic. It’s about how such developments change the character of our neighbourhoods,” said one resident, adding that the elevated structure would run uncomfortably close to residential blocks and schools.
The Subang MP assured residents that their concerns will be brought to the attention of local authorities.
“I will ensure that the decision-making process is open and that the people of Subang Jaya are kept informed every step of the way,” Wong Chen said.
The project had gone through three townhall engagement sessions with residents and stakeholders. Based on public feedback, several design adjustments were made, including:
Cancellation of the original ramp-down to Persiaran Kewajipan
Upgrading of the Kewajipan–NPE roundabout by the developer
Installation of sound barriers along the flyover
Improved drainage at the Kewajipan–SS14/8 junction
Green landscaping elements on the flyover pillars
The proposed flyover, if approved, is expected to link directly from the Sunway Lagoon Selatan intersection to the Subang–Kelana elevated highway network. For now, the project remains under public scrutiny — and the growing voices from the ground suggest that the final decision will be one to watch closely.
