Revived highrise may be renamed
19/08/2002 The Star

THE Taman Terubong Indah (Majestic Heights) Phase 1 project, which is presently being revived after a four-year delay, may take on a new name to reflect a positive image. 

Its purchasers’ committee executive advisor S.L. Chang said the committee was toying with the idea of renaming the place ‘Dragon Peak’ or ‘Dragon Heights’. 

“The name Paya Terubong directly translates into Hokkien as Long Boay and in Mandarin as Long Wei, both of which mean Dragon Tail. 

“Since we are at the higher end of the hilly area, we would like to be the dragon head. But, we will first ask buyers for their opinions before applying to rename the place,” he told reporters at the project’s open day recently. 

Also present were Bayan Baru MP Wong Kam Hoong and state executive councillor Datuk Dr Loh Hock Hun, who is Paya Terubong assemblyman. 

The project’s new developer Wira Properties Management Sdn Bhd managing director Low Kwok Leong said he was confident that the project’s physical work would be ready by end of December. 

“Our contract ends Jan 18, 2003, so we must complete it before that. On completion, we will surrender all nine apartment blocks under Phase 1 to the liquidator, Deloitte Kassim Chan to apply for the certificate of fitness for occupation,” he said. 

Low said Wira Properties was in the midst of getting approval from the Penang Municipal Council and other technical departments for the project’s facilities before submitting a clearance letter for the OC application. 

He noted that the revival work included the installation of lifts, street lighting, water and electricity supply, rewiring and replacement of broken windowpanes as well as repainting of all the blocks. 

Revival work on the project’s Phase 1, which has 1,555 buyers, finally kicked off on Aug 8. About 86% of the buyers had agreed to pay RM7,500 each for the revival costs, amounting to RM12.3mil. 

Housebuyer Yeoh Kai Teik criticised state DAP organising secretary Danny Law for giving false information that construction work on the project had not started since the revival was launched on Aug 8. 

Launched in 1995, the four phases of Majestic Heights project, comprising 2,955 housing units, 55 shop lots and 22 light industrial units, was the country’s largest single abandoned housing project.
