Bye bye, forest reserves

And HOW will they handle the flora and fauna in this area due to THIS? Just flood the area and drown all of them, is it? Are they planning to relocate the animals? Are they planning to relocate the plants? How much more development do they wanna do??

"...the project was necessary to meet the demand for water and for the continued development of the Klang Valley and Selangor. "

We're like a concrete jungle now. Everywhere you look, there's a high-rise building... if not, then it's land being cleared to build yet another high-rise.

Take Mont Kiara, for example...

Development on the opposite right...

Development on the opposite left...

And the area on the left on the same side has just been cleared to, surprise surprise, more development. The area on the left on the same side has almost completed its apartment blocks. The area behind has at least 4-5 new developments, one of which is the Verve Suites, which has SEVEN freaking blocks! There's supposed to be a forest reserve somewhere behind but sooner or later, a money-hungry businessman or politician will decide that s/he wants to "Get rid of the trees and build me my multi-million ringgit condo complex".

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE??!!!

A forest reserve is "is a protected area of importance for wildlife, flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest, which is reserved and managed for conservation and to provide special opportunities for study or research." - Wikipedia

It's pretty obvious that these people care jackshit about conservation and only care about the ringgit signs. Wait till all that development causes soil erosion and their homes get buried. Haven't they learned anything at all from the Highland Towers tragedy??!!!

India has such beautiful and massive national parks. They're large enough for animals to roam and also for visitors to take a tour on trucks. What do we have? A miserable animal safari at A'Famosa Resort, which is so small, all the animals are so clustered together and uncomfortable coz the truck that carries visitors get so close to them. And the noise! It was enough to stress ME out! And we THINK we're a developing country. Hah! Developing into a concrete jungle, more like it. We can't even respect our fellow living creatures. Developing, my foot. The way we're going, we're just destroying whatever's left of nature and leaving our future generations with global warming, soil erosion, and everything that comes with the imbalance of the ecosystem.
