Residents fear designated football field in Brickfields being turned into carpark

An aerial view of land in Brickfields meant to be used as a football field (top left corner) being levelled for a carpark to overcome double-parking in the area.

KUALA Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has abandoned its plan to build a football field in Brickfields to replace the one that was demolished four years ago.

This is despite mayor Datuk Seri Mahadi Che Ngah approving plans last year to build a modest field with basic facilities on DBKL’s former sports club land along Jalan Tun Sambanthan 1.
