PETALING JAYA: An environmental organisation has taken the Selangor government to task over a proposed housing project in Gombak which will see forest reserve land de-gazetted for construction.
“If they wanted to do this, why didn’t they do it back then? Why wait until now? Why the insistence on de-gazetting the forest reserve?” he told FMT. In 2014, a hearing was held on the de-gazettement of 106.65ha of the Ampang Forest Reserve for construction of the East Klang Valley Expressway. “By the time you get the information, it is past the planning stage and too late,” he said, adding that public hearings were “just formalities”.Residents of Taman Amansiara in the vicinity have objected to the PKNS project, fearing a repeat of the November 2009 landslide which brought down tonnes of earth along an 80m stretch of Jalan Rawang, cutting off northbound traffic for a month.
