Who is addressing the hillslope issues faced by KL people?

So kind and generous (yes I am being sarcastic) but mummy always said if you cannot mind your own business don't mind other people's business. Before Barisan kindly offers to help solve hillslope development problems in Penang, have you already addressed all the problems faced by people in Damansara Heights or anywhere else in Kuala Lumpur? The Straits Times tells us that KL is gradually becoming ungreen (see NST link below) and is that not a problem for Barisan to mind, before it minds things happening is someone else's jurisdiction? That same report says, "Originally, Bukit Kiara was designated as a public park, but over the years, its land area had diminished. Part of it has now become housing estates." Someone had better have a talk with the National Landscape Department. Would that be you Barisan? Or maybe we should talk about how the local population feels about the Damansara-Shah Alam Highway (DASH) and how that is going to affect their way of life and their property prices especially when they find themselves looking out of their front doors to face a concrete wall holding up a highway the same as those poor folk in Damansara Kim (opposite Tropicana City Mall) who had no idea what was going to hit them when they bought their homes thirty or so odd years ago. How? Still want to kay poh chee other people's business?
