IT looks like it could be a bleak new year for Kota Damansara residents
but they are going all out to ensure their voices are heard.
The group, calling themselves Friends of Kota Damansara (FOKD) together
with representatives from the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), have
submitted their appeal to Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) against the
decision to zone the remnants of the forest reserve for commercial or
residential development as proposed in the PJ Local Draft Plan 2
(RTPJ2). They also urged the local authority to abandon any plans connected with such development.

40ha of forest earmarked for development |
|
THE recently published PJ Local Draft Plan 2 (RTPJ2) has stated that
about 40ha of forested area in Kota Damansara, which is part of the
Sungai Buloh Forest Reserve, will be turned into a recreational area.
This includes the land that has been developed into a Muslim cemetery.
It leaves only 26.9ha as the forest reserve. The rest would make way
for development, including residential housing.
Residents' group Friends of Kota Damansara (FOKD) chairman Leong Kam
Heng, who has been living in Kota Damansara for six years, said the
development plans were robbing the public of an important green area in
the Klang Valley.
