Taking steps to safeguard environment in Selangor

The Temuan community, like the ones at Kampung Orang Asli Busut Baru, rely on the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve and plans to degazette the area threatened to jeopardise their livelihoods.

KUALA LANGAT district in southwestern Selangor has seen its fair share of major incidents this year, culminating in floods in mid-December.

The 858 sq km district with a population of over 320,000 was badly affected following a two-day downpour that started on Dec 17, which left many villages submerged in up to waist-deep waters.
