RESIDENTS of Taman Tun Dr Ismail will proceed with legal action to stop a mammoth development project in Taman Rimba Kiara, one of Kuala Lumpur’s largest green lungs.

Last June, City Hall (DBKL) approved the development of a 29-storey block of affordable housing (350 units), and eight blocks of high-end apartments (42 to 54 storeys, 1,766 units) on 4.86ha of land in Taman Rimba Kiara, which was designated as public open space under the Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020.
