Housing project proposed within forest reserve


The pristine waterfall at Taman Rimba Bukit Lagong is one of the main attractions, the forest reserve also serves as an important water catchment area.

A 30-day public hearing is ongoing to seek feedback on a proposal to degazette a part of the Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve in Gombak for a housing development project.

The degazettement exercise involves an area totalling 28.3ha near the fringe of the permanent forest reserve.
