KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — A green enclave in the city first developed by the British during the colonial era, Federal Hill is a low-density residential area amid some 18 acres of secondary forest.
Ksharmini and her neighbours who live on Jalan Abdullah in Bangsar are worried about possible disasters that could occur due to soil erosion.“We have voiced these concerns over the years, do they not care about our safety as residents?” Ksharmini asked. “We have made so many objections previously and called for the Federal Territories Minister to gazette Federal Hill as a green lung, and this is precisely what we were trying to prevent,” Ali added.
In the approved KLCP 2020 , SKL and the residents found that the land parcel in Federal Hill had been rezoned to Mixed Development with a plot ratio of 1:6. Residents had been protesting against a mega development project by SP Setia which was proposed as part of a land-swap agreement with the National Health institute.
The access road to this area has been identified by developers to be Jalan Bangsar and Lorong Travers. “There is also a potential huge development in the pipeline on the site where the present Sri Pahang flats are located,” Ksharmini explained.Driving along the narrow roads on Federal Hill, you have to be alert for repairs. ― Picture by Hari Anggara
In November 2019, an uprooted rambutan tree fell onto Ksharmini’s house, damaging the roof and some floor tiles.“The area is suffering severe erosion due to the felling and uprooting of fully matured trees that was further aggravated by the construction works of the 15-storey 24-unit government quarters on an area which was a green reserve and is located in proximity to Lot PT 9434.
“To have plot ratio 1:6 in the area will invite the construction of high-rise buildings which will tower over adjacent residential houses on Lorong Travers, Lorong Limau Manis, Jalan Abdullah, SMK Bangsar, Persiaran Negeri Sembilan and Lingkungan Negri Sembilan. In 1952 the housing scheme was expanded and the whole area officially named Federal Hill in commemoration of the Federation of Malaya in 1948.
