All damages faced by Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Taman Sungai Besi Indah in Seri Kembangan incurred by the construction of a luxury condominium will be repaired by the developer, said Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) today.

“The compound was imposed on the developer on February 6 which is also the date given for construction to be halted. The notice will only take effect once the Subang Jaya Municipal Council is satisfied with the security level of the project.

“The developers have also agreed to help repair the damages at the school,” said Hisham to reporters during a press conference held at the construction site on Tuesday..

The 23-storey condominium project was approved in December 2011 and was being constructed on a former mining land.

Since the middle of 2014 however, serious land erosion was detected which led to the damage of the school’s structure located behind the project.

Parents and Teachers Association and school management had lodged a report to the authorities which involved the District Education Office Petaling Perdana, Selangor Education Department, Education Ministry and the MPSJ.
