PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A 23.83-hectare area in Mukim Petaling, Kuala Lumpur has been gazetted as a new Permanent Forest Reserve (PFR) under the National Forestry Act 1984 (Act 313) effective Friday (Oct 9).

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the PFR, to be known as the Sungai Besi Forest Reserve, was to replace the 7.48-hectare Bukit Sungei Puteh Forest Reserve in Mukim Cheras, Kuala Lumpur which was de-gazetted for the development of the Sungai Besi-Ulu Kelang Elevated Expressway on the same date.

"The process of de-gazetting and replacing the PFR simultaneously was in line with the intention and proposed amendments to Act 313 which the government is working on," said Takiyuddin Takiyuddin said the Sungai Besi Forest Reserve is larger than the Bukit Sungei Puteh Forest Reserve which had been degazetted and is a lowland dipterocarp forest, adding that the simultaneous replacement of the PFR also increased the size of forest areas in Kuala Lumpur by 0.35 per cent.

On the Greening Malaysia Cycling Programme, he said it was organised in collaboration with the Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia and Putrajaya Corporation, which comprised cycling and tree planting activities.
