IT is with dismay and disappointment that right-minded citizens greeted the news that the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council (MPAJ) had approved the construction of the East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE).

This proposed expressway would have consequences that go beyond the boundaries of Ampang and would adversely affect the water supply and air quality of Selangor residents as well as destroy and fragmentise wildlife habitats.
