Based on information in the Draft Local Plan for Ampang Jaya 2020, the proposed KL Outer Ring Road (KLORR) highway will cut through the middle of the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge and the western section of the Ampang Forest Reserve.
It is understandable that there is a need to relieve the traffic on the middle ring road-Jln Ulu Kelang. However, cutting through the middle of the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge - a world class geological site that is over a 100 million years old - as well as through the Ampang Forest Reserve does not seem to be a sustainable solution.
Residents of Ampang and Taman Melawati, as well as NGO's such as TrEES and MNS, have been objecting to the placement of the KLORR since we first read of the proposed road in the Draft Structure Plans for Ampang in 1998. There needs for a more sustainable, better thought-out solution to the never-ending traffic problem of Kuala Lumpur, than simply building new highways. Especially when these highways will cut through protected Park areas which are unique and irreplaceable habitats.
It seems that the KLORR may be a raised highway, that will run along the Klang Gates Reservoir's edge, and then cut through the middle of the Klang Gates Ridge, just a the side of the dam (see photo of likely affected area).
This appears to be nearly the same spot that the former DPM and Selangor CM declared the Park back in 2005 (see photo of Declaration). If the highway continues, it will be a terrible tragedy.
Please send a letter-fax or e-mail to the Prime Minister, members of the Federal Government, as well as to the Selangor Chief Minister, to voice your concern. Please ask what has happened to the Declaration, and to please stop the KLORR highway from cutting through Taman Negeri Selangor.
Please do it TODAY!
