KUALA LUMPUR – The Federal Territories Department of the Director of Lands and Mines has taken enforcement action against the Kebun-Kebun Bangsar community farm here for violating the terms of the temporary occupation licence for nursery purposes.
Its director Datuk Muhammad Yasir Yahya said the terms included the type of crops, and that no permanent structure should be built under the electric pylons based on the technical feedback from Tenaga Nasional Bhd.
“The department also received complaints of disturbances lodged by residents.
“Investigations revealed that the nursery keeps various livestock such as chickens, ducks, and sheep, thus raising other issues such as odour pollution, flies, and noise disturbance which led to the enforcement action,” he said in a statement today.
He said the department supported the urban farms initiative, but the requirements prescribed must be adhered to for the benefit of all parties.
The community farm, which had caught the attention of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob earlier, posted on social media an eviction notice that it received on June 23, which went viral on social media. – Bernama, June 28, 2022
