What circumstances allowed developers to acquire 80 acres of protected flood retention land?

Question

## The revocation of a 1998 Cabinet directive enabled the alienation of 80 acres of land

Accepted Answer

The alienation of 80 acres of land surrounding the Kuala Lumpur flood retention pond was permitted because the original protection order for the area was revoked in 2016. Although the Cabinet had approved the reservation of this land on June 19, 1998, the necessary gazetting process was never completed during the subsequent 18 years, leaving the area legally vulnerable to development.
