“I will explain to them the status of Segari Melintang and development projects that had been approved in the area,” he said. Personally, Tan said he also wanted the gazettement to be done fast but there are procedures that need to be followed. He, however, said a more detailed study was needed as a large portion of the area had been earmarked for industrial development and several quarry activities are in operation currently.
