Analysis

In late 2007 till April 2008, the residents of De Tropicana have experienced two flash floods in four months. The second flood has damaged 4 cars where the car park was submerged in about 1 meter. The flood woe is believed to be caused by an on-going housing development and a highway construction works. The residents have forwarded their frustration on the authorities as well as the developer upon poor projects handling via a peaceful demonstration in April 2008. The problem might have been resolved since there is no more news heard since then. There was a break-in occurred on 12th April 2010 at De Tropicana. According to the investigation, the two young thieves were spotted wandering within the condominium since 1.50pm before the break-in at 2.40pm. The committee of De Tropicana Residents Association (DTRA) have responded quickly by checking the CCTV record as well as looking for the thieves all over the condominium. However, the thieves managed to escape.According to the KL 2020 Master Plan, there are 2 small plots of land have been earmarked for surau development near De Tropicana. Besides that, there is also going to be a fire station located just opposite the highways. It is afraid that these 'surau' and fire station developments will add more noise to De Tropicana, as currently residents are already suffering noise pollution from the highways. Besides 'surau' and fire station, there is also a plan to build a police station next to the Shell petrol station.
