SUFFOCATING IN KL

I have not seen the Kuala Lumpur Master Plan 2020 in detail yet.

I am really anxious to see what Kuala Lumpur is going to look like by then. I was told there would be enough Green Lung planned. I do seriously hoped that this is true.

So far, near where I lived, contractors are busy widening the roads from existing 2 lanes to 3 lanes each. Plenty of dusk and road conditions are unbearable. However it seems that the progress is rather slow, probably due to the fact that there will be no toll collection, yes probably. He he

The main concern here will be, are they going to be enough parks and green space for the kids to play? I noticed that at Taman Danau Kota, the developer are taking away part of the green space to build more town houses. It seems that they will be less space for the kids to play.

Are we encouraging our kids to stay in doors? Playing with the computers or Sony PS all day?

The society must take a role in addressing these issues. You know, we keep on blaming those kids when they hang out in KLCC or the many Malls spread around the city without realizing it is part of our own doing.

Just take a look at how those flats are being build nowadays. Those units are cramped that those residing in it are suffocating.

We need more green lungs in the city.
