40ha of forest earmarked for development


THE recently published PJ Local Draft Plan 2 (RTPJ2) has stated that about 40ha of forested area in Kota Damansara, which is part of the Sungai Buloh Forest Reserve, will be turned into a recreational area. This includes the land that has been developed into a Muslim cemetery. It leaves only 26.9ha as the forest reserve. The rest would make way for development, including residential housing. 

Residents' group “Friends of Kota Damansara” (FOKD) chairman Leong Kam Heng, who has been living in Kota Damansara for six years, said the development plans were robbing the public of an important green area in the Klang Valley.
