Federal Government should step in to help

I HAVE read with disgust the ongoing situation at the Bandar Mahkota Cheras junction.

In the end, the residents are the ones who suffered.

The deafening silence of the Federal Government's top leadership has added to the frustrations of the people. The court case needs to be speeded up to clear the air of uncertainty.

Now, with the involvement of unknown bullies coupled with angry residents, the situation could turn ugly. It is time the Federal Government stepped in to resolve this issue.

It is not enough to just let the police and FRU handle this as the residents could not get answers from these apolitical institutions and it only adds to their anger and fuels more distrust.

The safety issue being spoken about by Grand Saga is not valid enough as they did not put forth any action plan to settle this.

Ordinary Malaysians like me do not want to see this prolonged anymore.

For the sake of peace and harmony, people who have the power to change should do something fair and fast.
