Najib, do learn a thing or two from Selangor Government….
On page 6 of The Star Metro section, the headlines screamed “Forest to stay” and “Cheer for Kota Damansara Folk”. It appears that the Selangor Government has decided that it intent to gazette the remaining forest park in Kota Damansara as a forest reserve.
2. The Kota Damansara Community Forest Park (KDCFP) is a secondary forest located in the western outskirt of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was part of a defunct Sungai Buloh Forest Reserve gazetted in 1898 which contained 3,900 acres (16 km2) of protected primary forest. This made it as the oldest forest reserve in Peninsular Malaysia. The forest reserve was degazetted a number of times and subsequent development brought down the size of the reserve to a 857-acre.
3. This strategic piece of land has many developers eyeing for it. Residents and NGO’s have fought the State Government and many developers who wanted to develop the area. On many occasions, the BN Selangor State Government then had indicated its interest in various manners that the land will be developed. On numerous occasions, Khir Toyo tested the community reaction to their proposal.
