THE Federal Court’s dismissal of Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) appeal over a controversial construction project in Taman Rimba Kiara has set a new precedent in which local authorities can no longer bulldoze through any projects they like, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng said today.
He added that the long-term implications of the decision is that local authorities consider building projects more carefully, if they negatively affect residents in an area.
