What was promised to be a green lung is now under attack by greedy developers eager to make short term profits at the expense of the Kota Damansara residents who will have to suffer the long term consequences.
The Kota Damanasara Community Forest Park is the oldest forest reserve in Malaysia. This 100-year forest is now in danger of being totally wiped out. Without the forest, Kota Damansara will have lost a big sponge to soak up the water. During a heavy rainfall this water will run off the hill and we will have floods, land slide and hotter homes.
The devastation of the Forest in Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam angered the Prime Minister when he flew over the area in 2005. Now in less than two years and in spite of all the publicity of power abuses, the residents of Kota Damansara are witnessing a similar devastation at their door step.
Kota Damansara residents and caring Malaysians are invited to give their views on this very important issue in our e-forum:
