9 more lots for a greener KL

Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh announced the gazetting of nine additional open spaces in Kuala Lumpur, increasing the total to 552 lots covering 468.36 hectares. This expansion, equivalent to 655 football fields, underscores the government's dedication to balanced urban development while preserving public recreational areas and climate resilience.

Yeoh highlighted the importance of these spaces for community activities, family leisure, and the well-being of all citizens. The newly gazetted areas range from 1.658 to 22,000 square meters and are strategically located across various districts, including Batu, Kuala Lumpur, Setapak, and Petaling. The Minister emphasized that each area will provide more room for children to play, families to relax, and seniors to exercise, contributing to a healthier urban environment.

The public can access information on these open spaces through the MyHijau portal, enabling residents to participate in the monitoring and protection of Kuala Lumpur's green areas.
