TTDI vs DBKL: Appeals, Land Conversions, Unmeaningful Public Consultation

The mission to keep Taman Rimba Kiara as a park that benefits all continues, as the Federal Court has allowed DBKL and the other parties involved to appeal against the quashing of the development order, and commence with an appeal to reinstate the development over a portion of the public park. We catch up with Hafiz Abu Bakar, the Chairman of the TTDI Residents Association, and Leon Koay, the Committee Coordinator of the Save Taman Rimba Kiara Working Group about this new development in the case. We also question why recommendations and objections submitted by the public were ignored by the authorities in the final decisions on the Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (Alteration 3) (Part II), and the implications of the prospective loss of open space and conversion of institutional land to commercial use that this will bring with it.
