What role did the 2016 revocation play in the land development approval?

Question

## The 2016 revocation of the 1998 Cabinet directive removed the legal barrier that had protected the flood retention pond land, enabling the developer to receive alienation approval for 80 acres of mixed development.

Accepted Answer

The revocation, agreed upon by the Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory Land Working Committee in October 2016, directly cleared the way for the land alienation. The original 1998 Cabinet directive under the first Mahathir government had designated the surrounding land as reserves to protect the flood retention pond, but this protection order was never formally gazetted during the 18 years that followed. By revoking the ungazetted reservation approval in 2016, the committee removed the obstacle that had previously stood in the way of development on the site.
