‘No transparency in degazettement exercise

Several families still reside at the Bukit Lagong Orang Asli village located about 2km away from the proposed project site.

PLANNING approval for a proposed housing project at Bukit Lagong, Gombak, was given to Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) even before the proposal to degazette the forest reserve.

State Environment, Green Technology, Consumer and NonIslamic Affairs Committee chairman Hee Loy Sian said PKNS was given the green light for the project in 2003 by the Selangor State Executive Council (MMKN) but it was not carried out.
