The Federal Court has dismissed an appeal by the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and three others to reinstate the controversial development order over parts of Taman Rimba Kiara.

A three-person apex court bench chaired by P Nallini this morning unanimously denied the appeal and upheld a 2021 Court of Appeal ruling that permitted 12 Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) residents to set aside the development order.

Previously, the TTDI Residents’ Association had hailed the Court of Appeal decision as a major victory in the fight to preserve the public park.

Dated July 13, 2017, DBKL issued the development order for eight blocks of high-end serviced apartments and 29-storey apartments, comprising 350 affordable housing units to be built on the land.
