Court of Appeal Ruled in Favour of Taman Rimba Kiara Residents, Quashing Development Order

The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the Taman Rimba Kiara residents, quashing the development order granted by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for the proposed residential project. This decision overturned a previous High Court ruling that had dismissed the residents' judicial review.
Court Overturns High Court Decision

On January 27, the Court of Appeal's three-member bench, led by Datuk Mary Lim Thiam Suan, quashed the development order issued by DBKL. This effectively set aside the High Court's decision from November 28, 2018, which had previously dismissed the residents' attempt to challenge the conditional planning permission and development order.
Residents Challenged Planning Permission and Development Order

The judicial review was initiated by various management bodies and residents of Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) through an application filed on August 11, 2017. They sought to quash DBKL's decision regarding the proposed mixed development, which included a 29-storey apartment with 350 affordable housing units and eight service apartment blocks.
Taman Rimba Kiara Designated as a Public Park

The residents argued that the 10.08-hectare Taman Rimba Kiara is a crucial public park and a green lung for the Kuala Lumpur area, encompassing TTDI and Bukit Kiara. Their legal challenge specifically targeted DBKL's approval for the mixed development project within this designated green space.
