Hopes for Kiara park in despair

Old trees are sacrificed in the name of development. Taman Rimba Kiara, another green open space under threat. Taman Tun Dr Ismail residents are protesting a high-rise residential development being planned there

THE promise in Pakatan Harapan’s election manifesto was to “rebuild the nation” and to “fulfil the hopes of the people”. The people believed it and against all odds put into power a new government.

However, our hopes for the preservation of Taman Rimba Kiara have descended to despair as blows to the community effort have been coming in hard and fast.
