Residents crash press conference, confront Teresa Kok | Kini News - 17 Feb
Seputeh MP Teresa Kok today visited the construction site of a high-rise building in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur which collapsed last week. However, she did not get the warmest reception.
Speaking to reporters today, Teresa Kok said it would be unfair to blame her for the project, as it was approved and started before Harapan came into power in 2018. She even pointed out that she has consistently opposed the over-development of Taman Desa.
If completed, The Address will have three towers with 30-storeys each on a narrow strip of land which was once Tenaga Nasional Bhd reserve land.
Taman Desa residents had once mounted a fierce campaign against the project because the reserve land was designated as a green lung under the Kuala Lumpur Master Plan 2020.
