Residents show disapproval for housing project at Bohol pond site

Some 200 residents from KL and Selangor gathered at the Kg Bohol flood retention pond to protest the redevelopment of the pond.

ABOUT 200 Klang Valley folk gathered at Kampung Bohol flood retention pond in Kuala Lumpur to protest the redevelopment of a crucial flood mitigation site into a housing project.

Grappling with crutches, S. Sivakumar, 53, took over 40 minutes to walk under the hot sun and across muddy fields to reach the protest site from his unit at the Kampung Muhibbah People’s Housing Project (PPR) in Kuala Lumpur.
