13. Weakness and Strength of proposed site
1.The TNB sub power station is a constraint
to the site as it will emit radioactive that will
affect the humans’ health. The TNB sub
power station is a disturbing view to the
landscape of the site too.
2.The drainage system around the selected site is also a
constraint to the site as the unpleasant odour that is produced
by the drain water will affect the residents’ health. Other than
that, it also affect the visual landscape of the site.
3.The crossroad near the site is
one of the strength as it increase
the population and cars to go to
the selected site.
