Silence over new expressway causing great concern

OVER the past few years, over 16,000 people have spoken up for the protection of Taman Warisan Negri Selangor, through the “Stop the EVKE cutting through the Selangor State Park” campaign.

However, the status of the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) and the park remains unclear to the public. While the DEIA for Phase 2, from Ukay Perdana interchange to the Karak interchange, was not approved, both phase 1 and 2 of the EKVE appears in the land-use section of the “Laporan Tinjauan Kajian Rancangan Struktur Negeri Selangor 2035” (RSN 2035) and the “Proposed Amendments to the Rancangan Tempatan Ampang Jaya 2020” (RTMPAJ 2020), despite the ongoing objections from the public.
