Some recipients of my No2KiDEX postings have asked me what KiDEX is all about.
In the You Tube video below, independent journalist/producer, Daphne Iking interviews representatives of two groups, one opposed to construction of the Damansara Shah Alam Highway (DASH) in the Damansara Perdana area, and a representative of the Say No To KiDEX group in Section 14, Petaling Jaya, complete with graphics.

Blogger IT.Scheiss has included a similar video of Selve Sugumaran of the Say No To KiDEX group, scolding the representative from the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), on his blog on the public meeting with the KiDEX company on 16th May, 2014.
16th MAY 2014 PUBLIC MEETING
Daphne has been producing a series of such episodes on the traffic situation in the Klang Valley.
Thank you Daphne, we sorely need a convenient, comfortable and efficient public transport system like in the developed countries, so that we can reduce our reliance on cars, the horrendous traffic jams, stress, tension, road rage, pollution and so forth, and save money as well.
We need practical solutions to the problems of modern life, not pie in the sky measures, such as banning cars and reverting to bicycles and bullock carts, which will never be accepted by most people.
Here are her earlier episodes.

Following below are some posters opposing KiDEX which explain what the construction of KiDEX will do to the Petaling Jaya skyline. The scenes shown in these posters are of Jalan Semangat, which runs past Section 14, Petaling Jaya, as it is now, and an artist's impression of how it will look once KiDEX is built.

Here is the SAY NO TO KIDEX Facebook page.
My own No2KIDEX blog is independent of the Say No To KiDEX group, though I am involved with the group and yesterday morning (Sarurday 22nd of November, 2014), we had a dialogue with Bukit Gasing State Assemblyman, The Honourable Rajiv Rishyakaran over coffee, where we discussed several of our concerns over matters such a rubbish collection, KiDEX, the Petaling Jaya North Sewer project, the One Way Loop and so forth in Petaling Jaya.
Thank you Rajiv for meeting us over our concerns, and for conscienciously performing your duty to your constituents who elected you.
Yours truly
No2KIDEX
