SHAH ALAM, June 3 — The re-gazetting process of Kuala Langat North Forest Reserve (HSKLU) spanning an area of 536.7 hectares, which was previously de-gazetted in 2021, has been finalised during the Selangor State Executive Council meeting two weeks ago.
Menteri Besar Dato' Seri Amirudin Shari said that the issue is considered to be over and the implementation will be carried out by the Selangor Forestry Department (JPNS).
"The total forest area is still the same as before. Implementation will be done by the JPNS," he said when asked to comment on the matter.
