Earlier this year Proton released its latest model, the return of the Saga which was the first model by a local car company. Its the Saga BML and a mistakable look will resemble a shinked Merc.
The resident of Bandar Mahkota Cheras faced a different Saga. They are facing the Grand Saga, the concessionaire for the Kajang-Cheras highway. Thing has become heated since the resident of the new housing township tear down the barricade, which is the only access road to the highway. This lead to the latest issue of law enforcer have to use teargas and water cannons. Seems that they are still practising partisan and loyal to their defeated side the BN. It is sad to still have law enforcers and who is responsible to keep peace. By taking sides how can they be peace keepers as duty of peace keepers is to see that both sides uphold the peace. When PDRM take sides they have breached their responsibility and making the other side felt an unfairness had taken place by someone who are supposed to look after their safety. In sports they will be accused as pengadil berat sebelah.
I was not at the location but from reports and past experience of police partisan towards BN especially when involving opposition I can see the unfairness had taken place.
Why do the resident of Bandar Mahkota Cheras have to be forced to take a longer route and pay toll when they have access road which is shorter. BMC is not the only new township that have to use the Kajang-Cheras Highway to Kuala Lumpur. There are many more housing estates along the highway such as Cheras Perdana, Bandar Tun Hussien Onn, residents of Balakong etc that uses the same junction to access the highway without having to go through Batu 11 toll plaza. It is unfair for residents of BMC who were forced by Grand Saga to pay toll when they have the choice of not having to do so.
I am not a resident of BMC but I support the effort of the community in pressing for their right. They have no alternative but to use the highway and going through the toll both when they should be given toll free road after the Cheras-Kajang highway is upgraded to a tolled highway. It is daylight robbery on the part of Grand Saga.

Let's look at this barricade issue as a simple means of access for BMC folks to & from Kl City Centre. In addition, let's look at tolled highways being the (faster) alternative to available non-tolled roads.
Based on the above, Grand Saga has no right to block premised on the fact that Grand Saga has taken over the the old Cheras-Kajang & good for BMC folks that their nearest access to the Grand Saga highway has no toll. However,
Grand Saga has the right to block if we view that BMC was developed premised on KL-Seremban as the main access route to KL City Centre.
The developer cannot be blameless in all of this, after all there are claims that they had claimed "only1.5 km to city centre" i.e. thru' Grand Saga highway.
From what I know, based on PLUS highway-linked townships, the developer would have to foot the bill of building an interchange onto the highway (of course together with toll booth). Even then I'm not sure whether can compare because PLUS highway is the 'closed system' type unlike Grand Saga highway.
Let's see what committee Bodowi would set-up to look into this matter because the best way is to point the finger at the federal govt that this is their jurisdiction to solve.
