PETALING JAYA: An NGO and two other groups, including one supporting Anwar Ibrahim, have submitted a memorandum urging the Selangor government to stop the degazettement of the Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve (KLNFR).
Natural Heritage of Malaysia (PEKA), the pro-Anwar Otai Reformis and Gerak said the Selangor forestry department had received 45,000 letters and more than 129,034 online petitions objecting to the degazettement.
In a memorandum to the Selangor Select Committee on Competency, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat) and menteri besar Amirudin Shari, they urged the state government to reverse the degazettement instead of reviewing the decision.
They said Selangor was developed enough and the state should focus on the preservation and conservation of nature.
