Yup, Batu 14 Puchong is in Subang Jaya municipality.
We hear from the MPSJ president himself on the status of the crematorium. Earlier, there was a commotion during MPSJ’s budget meeting when the crematorium was mentioned. Read it here.
A crematorium is needed in Subang Jaya municipality following the rapid population growth over the past 10 years.
However, before the facility is constructed, a few details have to be taken into consideration, such as research, location, design of the building and cremator, cost and allocation as well as the management of the facility.
We also have to ensure the crematorium is equipped with a foyer, a small office, toilets and sufficient parking bays.
Since the crematorium is fitted with two cremators, the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) has to select a suitable site that will not raise opposition from residents.
Suggestion: The proposed site for the crematorium is on a plot of land which is part of the Hindu cemetery in Batu 14, Puchong.Our planning department has suggested a plot of land that is part of the Hindu cemetery in Batu 14, Puchong, which is accessible by Jalan Bunga Kertas.
We need to get skilled consulting engineer for the construction of this crematorium for the design should incorporate the machines and equipments.
We also have to identify the types of machines to be used.
The construction cost is estimated at RM1.2mil, including the building structure (RM500,000), cremators (RM650,000) and Tenaga application fees (RM50,000).
Lastly, we also have to decide if the facility should be privatised or remain under MPSJ.
The appointment of a consulting engineer for the project was raised in the Finance and Assessment Committee meeting in July, and later, discussed in the Technical and Finance Consulting Committee meetings in August and October.
