Bukit Gasing is a quaint green lung which straddles the border of Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. Once a rubber plantation, it is now a secondary forest and is a favourite among nature lovers, hikers and anyone looking for a reprieve from the urban jungle. 

Now, a large part of Bukit Gasing on the Kuala Lumpur side is set to be developed and made into luxury bungalows. 

Joint Action Committee for Bukit Gasing members, Victor Oorjitham and Gary Yeoh, join us to talk about the safety issues that hill slope developments present, both in Bukit Gasing and around Peninsula Malaysia, while sharing with us their continuing efforts to save Bukit Gasing.
