DBKL - DO NOT APPROVE ANY PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT TAMAN RIMBA KIARA

DBKL - JANGAN LULUSKAN CADANGAN PEMBANGUNAN DI TAMAN RIMBA KIARA

In June 2016, Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur issued notice of a proposed development on part of the land comprising Taman Rimba Kiara. The development involves among others, building 8 blocks of 42-54 storey high-end serviced apartments comprising 2000+ units, which would add between 8,000 to 10,000 new residents to Taman Tun Dr Ismail. The plan also involves building a new 6-lane highway through TTDI, using a new flyover to be built from Jalan Damansara under the new MRT line, running through Jalan Wan Kadir and Jalan Datuk Sulaiman, connecting to Penchala Link. This monstrous development is unsustainable and will destroy the entire peaceful & quiet environment that is TTDI today. Cadangan pembangunan ini, jika dibenarkan, bermakna kemusnahan suasana, ketenangan dan persekitaran aman TTDI yang kita kecapi pada masa ini.

The proposed development totally disregards the fact that Taman Rimba Kiara is designated as a PUBLIC OPEN SPACE under the Kuala Lumpur City Draft Plan 2020. A mini-graphic from MAP 161 of the KL City Draft Plan 2020 is reproduced above, with additional notes. Cadangan pembangunan tersebut langsung tidak mengendahkan hakikat bahawa Taman Rimba Kiara sudahpun ditetapkan sebagai KAWASAN LAPANG AWAM di bawah Pelan Draf 2020 Bandaraya KL. Grafik kecil yang dipetik daripada PETA 161 Pelan Draf 2020 dipaparkan di atas, dengan nota tambahan.

By continuing to consider the proposed development, DBKL is signalling disregard for the express provisions of the Draft Plan, which is puzzling as the Draft Plan 2020 was conducted & published by DBKL itself in 2007-2008 !

The fact that Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan is a joint venture partner in the proposed development gives rise to questions of conflict of interest. The FT Minister and Datuk Bandar KL are also the Chairman and Director, respectively, of the Board of Trustees of Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan.

This Petition demands that / Petisyen ini meminta bahawa:

1. DBKL desists from approving ANY proposed development at Taman Rimba Kiara / DBKL tidak meluluskan APA JUA cadangan pembangunan di Taman Rimba Kiara.

2. DBKL respects the provisions of the KL City Draft Plan 2020 / DBKL menghormati peruntukan Pelan Draf 2020 Bandaraya KL.

3. DBKL gazettes the area known as Taman Rimba Kiara (as set out in the KL City Draft Plan 2020) as a PUBLIC OPEN SPACE / DBKL mewartakan kawasan yang dikenali sebagai Taman Rimba Kiara (sebagaimana yang tertera dalam Pelan Draf 2020 Bandaraya KL) sebagai KAWASAN LAPANG AWAM.

SUARA ANDA BERMAKNA. NYATAKANLAH BANTAHAN ANDA.
