Hikers starting off their hike up Bukit Saga. Many are objecting to the degazettement of the Sungai Puteh Forest Reserve in Ampang for the Sungai Besi-Ulu Klang Expressway (SUKE) project.

THE Selangor state government’s tenacity in degazetting and destroying forest reserves for tolled highway projects is an outrage to the principles of integrity, transparency and environmental responsibility it promised to uphold during the last general election.
