Accepted Answer

SACF Sought Anwar's Intervention to Protect Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve

The Shah Alam Community Forest Society (SACF) approached Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, seeking his assistance to safeguard the Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve. SACF presented a memorandum outlining their demands, which included a request for a meeting with Anwar to discuss their concerns regarding the alleged unlawful degazettement of the forest reserve. Their aim was to draw the attention of the Parliamentary Opposition leader and federal lawmaker to this environmental issue.
Memorandum Handed Over to Anwar's Staff

A group of ten SACF members attempted to meet with Anwar Ibrahim at the Ideal Convention Centre. While they were unable to meet him directly, they successfully handed over a memorandum detailing their demands to one of his staff members. SACF was subsequently promised a separate meeting with Anwar to further discuss their concerns.
Allegations of Unlawful Degazettement

SACF's primary concern revolves around what they claim to be an unlawful degazettement of the Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve. The group's peaceful demonstration, involving banners and placards, aimed to highlight this issue and garner support for the protection of the forest. They expressed frustration over a development project situated near the forest reserve and the Shah Alam Community Forest, which is not located within the designated Permanent Forest Reserve area.
Claim of Being Snubbed by Selangor MB

The SACF also reported an attempt to engage with the Selangor Mentri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, who was also attending the PKR congress. According to SACF secretary Alicia Teoh, their request for a discussion with the Mentri Besar was refused. This perceived lack of engagement from the state leadership prompted them to seek intervention from the federal opposition leader.
