A group of residents living near an under-construction kindergarten in Wangsa Maju has protested against the project, citing concerns over potential traffic congestion and the conversion of residential land for commercial use.
Section 5 Wangsa Maju Residents’ Association chairman Sri Utami Dewi Kasman urged Kuala Lumpur mayor Maimunah Sharif and federal territories minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa to cancel the project, saying a commercial development should not be allowed on land originally designated for residential purposes.
Utami Dewi said 150 residents living around the construction site had signed a petition calling for the project to halt.
“The number of residents in this area is already growing. Adding a four-storey international kindergarten expected to accommodate 200 children will only worsen traffic congestion,” she told reporters at a protest near the site today.
