‘No more high-rises, please’


Too high density: Highrise buildings cover the skyline of Cheras in Kuala Lumpur. -- LOW BOON TAT/The Star

THE increasing number of high-rise property developments in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur has pushed its residents to start an online petition to stop the old township from being overrun with apartments and condominiums.

They hope the petition will paint a clear picture of overpopulation in the area to Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and that the local authority will consider this before approving future projects.
