Damansara - Shah Alam Highway (DASH)

Like many other infrastructure projects in our country (MRT included), which suppose to benefit rakyat and stimulate the country's economy will upset some minorities. In the case of DASH, the objections from the residents of Mutiara Damansara is principally based on the fact that the DASH, originally meant to run through the higher-density neighbourhood of Damansara Perdana, where high-density condominiums abound, has now been re-routed to run through the quiet suburb of Mutiara Damansara, an admittedly more upscale neighbourhood..

DASH will connect New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) directly to the Penchala Link, allowing users to bypass the Damansara and Duta toll plazas along the NKVE, which are both prone to traffic build-up during rush hour. It would, therefore, allow Shah Alam residents using the NKVE to exit the NKVE, onto the DASH and onto the Penchala Link to Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya without passing through the Damansara suburban road network.

DASH is set to bring Shah Alam - Puncak Alam Corridor nearer to Damansara / PJ enclave  which contains more facilities like shopping complexes and MNC offices. Residential areas along Jalan Batu Arang (that linking Shah Alam to Puncak Alam) such as Sunway Alam Suria, Cahaya SPK, Alam Budiman, Denai Alam and Perdana Heights will immediately reap the benefits once the highway completed. Property prices in these areas expected to increase further.

Puncak Perdana - Alam Suria - Denai Alam - Kg Melayu Subang - Galaksi - Subang 2 - Subang Airport

Subang Airport - RRIM - Surian - Kenanga - Mutiara Damansara - Penchala

When Shah Alam - Puncak Alam Corridor become so close to Damansara / PJ, I believe many young family or couples (potential upgrader) in Damansara / PJ enclave will not hesitate to live there.
