Work to demolish the remaining structure of the former Jaya Supermarket building can only start after the authorities have been assured that the method to be employed meets Malaysian Institute of Public Works standards.
He said the state government had directed the MBPJ to get Jaya Section Fourteen Sdn Bhd, the owner of the building, and its consultants to provide details of the method of demolition.
He told a press conference after the weekly state executive council meeting here yesterday that the stop-work order would only be lifted if the criteria set by the state government were met.
Abdul Khalid said Petaling Jaya Mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman had briefed the meeting that the owner of the building had applied to have the stop-work order lifted.
"While the state is aware that the application is to ensure public safety, it cannot lift the order without proper planning,’ he said.
He said the state government hoped to make a decision as soon as possible so that evicted residents could return home.
He said the state government had been informed that all local councils in the state were checking their records to identify if the six companies involved in the Jaya Supermarket project had other development projects elsewhere in the state.
"Any ongoing projects involving any of these companies will be reassesed and monitored closely to ensure that all safety requirements are followed," he said.
The companies, blacklisted and banned from future projects in Selangor, are Jaya Section Fourteen Sdn Bhd, DP Architects Sdn Bhd, Meinhardht (M) Sdn Bhd. DLS Management, Pembinaan CW Yap Sdn Bhd and Jurutera Perunding Sdn Bhd.
The former Jaya Supermarket was about to be demolished when it collapsed on May 28, killing seven workers.
