Kota Damansara data centre project put on hold after developer application withdrawn
KUALA LUMPUR: A proposed data centre development in Kota Damansara will not proceed for now after the developer withdrew its planning permission application submitted to the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ).
The planned data centre development in Kota Damansara will remain on hold following the withdrawal of the developer's planning permission application to the Petaling Jaya City Council. This decision follows the opposition of MP Datuk Seri R. Ramanan, who expressed concerns over insufficient engagement with local residents and stakeholders.
Ramanan stated that while he supports development and investment, any large-scale project must include resident consultations and prioritize their well-being. The Kota Damansara community had raised alarms about potential issues such as traffic congestion, road safety, environmental impact, and the project's proximity to residential areas.
Ramanan emphasized that transparent and responsible development practices should be prioritized, ensuring that community concerns are heard and considered before approving any new proposals or applications in the constituency.
