A local news portal says documents show that the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council is working on a purported redevelopment plan that appears to cut up a golf club into various development parcels. This includes building 243 bungalow units, 50 linked house units, as well as a “micro mini” clubhouse.
But residents are resisting the plan amid concerns for the remaining forest area and potential floods that could become critical for the areas that fall within the plans for Ampang Jaya.
A group called the AJ Rimba Collective cited health concerns and the risk of environmental damage because the project, they say, will affect forested areas in the locality. Their objections are also against projects such as a proposed crematorium along Jalan Kolam Air Lama, Ampang, the Kuala Lumpur Northern Dispersal Expressway (KL Node), the MRT3 project, and an alleged redevelopment of Kelab Darul Ehsan (KDE) located in Taman Tun Abdul Razak.
