Do we really have to send THEM?

Today's newspaper had just confirmed my concern about PutraJaya's road planning. Please read my blog posted on January 17, 2005. You will clearly see what I was griping about.

Today, that gripe is substantiated by The Star Publication regarding the opinion of PutraJaya road planners. It's no wonder why they were not invited to go and plan one of the cities destroyed by a certain big wave.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian town planners will be involved in drafting the master plan for the reconstruction of Aceh, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
He said he would lead a delegation to Aceh on Monday, along with several planners, who were selected by the Housing and Local Government Ministry.

To a question, Najib said the master plan would not be based on that of Putrajaya.
“Although those who planned Putrajaya will be involved in drafting the master plan in Aceh, the philosophy and architecture have to be based on local needs and tastes,” said Najib, who had been asked by Abdullah to co-ordinate the reconstruction work with Indonesia


Interesting...interesting. So let's just go ahead and read behind the lines.

To a snide remark, Najim* retorted that the master plan (of Bandar Achih*) should deserve better than the crap we have at PutraJaya, (plus, it's going to be an international thing so we have to put more thought and less bribe into it.)
"Although the Scrabble Club who planned PutraJaya will be involved in picking the material for the blueprints of Bandar Acheh*, we will hire REAL city planners to plan a structured and logical blueprint for them to leave peacefully in," said Najim* who had be asked by Abdillah* to co-ordinate the reconstruction work with Indonisia*.
