Residents affected by logging activities for the construction of the Mahkota Cheras Main Sub-Station by Tenaga Nasional Berhad are angry that the issue was not resolved to their satisfaction.

The pylon project that will connect transmission lines from the main Mahkota Cheras substation to the existing 275kV Serdang-Pudu Ulu and 132kV Balakong-Bandar Tun Razak lines, cuts into 45ha of the Hulu Langat Forest Reserve. The reserve is 13,000ha.
