KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh took to Twitter today to announce the court victory by a group of residents in her constituency to protect one of the last green...
Earlier, the top court ruled in favour of the TTDI residents to quash a development order for a luxury service apartment project on a plot of land in the Taman Rimba Kiara recreational park here, putting an end to a protracted dispute that has lasted almost six years.
The Bench comprised Federal Court judges Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan and Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang, along with Chief Judge of Malaya Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah. In their judicial review application filed in 2017, the residents sought to quash the development order for the proposed development project — consisting of a 29-storey apartment block with 350 units of affordable housing, as well as eight blocks of service apartments and eight storeys of parking facilities.
They claim that the 10.08-hectare Taman Rimba Kiara is a public park located in TTDI and Bukit Kiara area, and the proposed development would increase the density of TTDI and irreversibly degrade Taman Rimba Kiara as a green lung.The Court of Appeal then ruled in favour of the residents on January 27, 2021.
But the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, together with the developer Memang Perkasa Sdn Bhd and land owner Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan appealed against the appellate court's decision to reinstate the development order for the project.
