PETALING JAYA: Time dotCom Bhd (TdC) is expanding its broadband service Time Netlynx to include high-end residential areas in Penang by year-end, said its managing director Datuk Baharum Salleh. “We will be offering broadband speeds of up to two megabits-, four megabits-, six megabits- and 10 megabits- per second (Mbps) to the residents on the island,” he told reporters at TdC Hari Raya open house here yesterday.

Open Letter from MK Land's Saujana Triangle Sdn. Bhd. WE refer to an article that appeared in StarMetro on Aug 3 with regards to the inspection conducted by Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) on Aug 2 following complaints by residents of Block F, Flora Damansara, Damansara Perdana. The developer was not invited for the scheduled inspection with MBPJ. However, as the matter had come to our notice, we attended as observers. It appears that the purpose of the inspection arranged by the residents was to highlight defects at the building. The defects highlighted were mainly leakages and cracks. Further, we were not approached by any of your representatives present for comments. The residents complaints dated July 18 should have been addressed to us as the developer (Saujana Triangle Sdn Bhd) and not MK Land Holdings Bhd. Upon receiving the complaints on July 20, we had already commenced action to resolve the issues and concerns raised. However, the rectification works cannot be carried...

PETALING JAYA, SELANGOR, Tues. Traffic flow to Damansara Perdana will be smoother with the opening of the Damansara Perdana-Sprint Expressway interchange today. The RM24 million MK Land interchange project provides motorists with direct access to the Sprint Expressway or Penchala Link from Damansara Perdana, bypassing the Lebuhraya Puchong-Damansara, thus improving accessibility to the township. The new interchange allows swifter passage for those entering and exiting Damansara Perdana during peak hours, and motorists heading towards Kuala Lumpur using the Sprint Expressway. The alternative route enables motorists to skip the LDP tunnel during heavy traffic conditions. Prior to the opening of the interchange, motorists from Damansara Perdana heading towards Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur had to spend 10 to 15 minutes just getting through the tunnel.
