Housing Development at foothills in Ulu Kelang Area
by Seri Naga Leong Loong Hee
With the collapse of Highland Tower and the landslide that happened in a retired general’s house in Ulu Kelang area, I thought the government has issued a statement that there will be no longer development being allowed to be carried out in foothill near that area.
However today as I was cycling in that area, I notice they are clearing the land at a hill near Jalan Melawati 4.
I have attached the pictures for your easy reference. I think it’s time for our government to really learn from the past. With such indiscriminate clearing of land near foothills, we are having a Highland Tower incident in the making.
Not to mention it’s a waste of land by just building less than 100 houses and they are destroying the environment at the same time.
I hope DAP could voice this in Parliament and get our inefficient government to be more environment sensitive.
