On a Road to Nowhere with BFM Radio – Oct 2021

On a Road to Nowhere with BFM Radio – Oct 2021

Our SACF Society was represented by secretary, Alicia Teoh and treasurer, Dr. Teckwyn Lim in an interview on Malaysia’s Business Radio, BFM Radio 89.9 on Oct 04, 2020.

They presented updates regarding the on-going battle between the community and state government.

It’s been over a year since the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) proposed to build a road right across the Shah Alam Community Forest. Two hectares of pristine rainforest, hundreds of trees and species, and the forest trails used and loved by many on a daily basis, destroyed forever – for a single road.

We also spoke about the study which has found that the area had been wrongly designated as development land, and the state government’s response to that.
