They say the area cannot support anymore large-scale development and urge the government to return it to its original residential status.
KUALA LUMPUR: For almost 10 years now, Marie Kay and her neighbours have been fighting to keep their Bangsar Utama locality from turning into a commercial site, an endeavour complicated by the discovery of a change in zoning.
She speculated that the area had been rezoned to make way for luxury apartments and office units on Jalan Abdullah. In November 2012, SP Setia subsidiary Setia Federal Hill entered into a privatisation agreement to undertake the development and construction of a new integrated health and research complex for the government in Setia Alam, Shah Alam.In exchange, the government agreed to swap the 51.57 acres of prime land in Bangsar occupied by the NIH, where the group plans to embark on a mixed-commercial development of luxury residential and office units.
Residents fear the greenery in Bukit Persekutuan will be a thing of the past if mega development projects take place. Loga said she was worried that the mega project by SP Setia would affect the hill slope which is categorised as Level 4. Another resident who wished to remain anonymous asked how SP Setia had managed to claim small parcels of land which are part of Bukit Persekutuan, when landownership falls under the federal Department of Lands and Mines in the Prime Minister’s Department.
