PETALING JAYA: The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for the proposed East Klang Valley Expressway (EKVE) is flawed and should be rejected.Forest researcher and former Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) honorary secretary Lim Teck Wyn said this yesterday claiming that the EIA report on the contentious section of the KL Outer Ring Road (KLORR) is “defective”.
Lim said the project would have a major impact on the wildlife in the area as the proposed route of the EKVE would cut through the Hulu Gombak, Ampang and Hulu Langat Forest Reserves, affecting some 214.7 ha of forested area.
The area also presently serves as an important water catchment area to the Klang Valley.
