[edit] Controversial issues

[edit] Beam cracks on the Kepong Flyover

Recently, residents of the neighborhood of Kepong expressed their fear about the safety on Kepong Flyover which was reported to be faulty as 31 of 33 pillars supporting the flyover were reported to have obvious cracks. At some pillars and tiers, there were more than 7000 cracks detected. Public concern about the safety issues at Kepong Flyover was due to the risks faced by at least 4,300 motorists using the flyover at a time. Investigations were carried out by the government to investigate the matter. What's worse, the contractor who built the Package 11 of the expressway (at Kepong neighborhood), Bumi Hiway Sdn. Bhd. was reported to have poor construction records in Malaysia. As a result, Kepong Flyover was closed to traffic and then reopened with only 4 out of 6 lanes. On August 10, 2004, the Works Minister, Dato' Seri S Samy Vellu, reminded the public that the cracks were not due to design flaw and "nobody can simply open their mouth and suggest it is design flaw" (Bernama 10 August 2004). However, findings from Halcrow Consultants Ltd suggested design deficiencies and the improper anchoring of the column rebar to the crossbeams were responsible for cracks and were finally accepted by the ministry (Source: New Straits Times, 1 October 2004).

On 4 February 2006, the Kepong Flyover was closed to traffic from 10:30 am in the morning after serious damages on the flyover was confirmed.

Many complaints arrived about the damages on MRR2. Traffic jam also has rose due to the uncompletion of the MRR2 (see right).

On 8 December 2006, the Kepong Flyover was reopened to all traffic. (Source: Utusan Malaysia, 9 December 2006)
