TTDI: Every now and then, some developers will try to muscle their way into whatever remaining jungles we have in the city, even those that were meant to be preserved. The greens of Kiara just at the edge of affluent Taman Tun Dr Ismail are a favourite target. Time and again, the residents there would be called to do battle with the developers.

Government should have rezoned all the terrace houses in TTDI into high rise, then acquire all those houses and turn them into public housing.
