malaysiakini and BUKIT ANTARABANGSA - this SENTENCE Says it ALL

Finally KL City Hall has taken action to prevent or postpone another landslide caused by development on steep slopes.
This article published in malaysiakini says it all. This survivor believes that
We are victims of corruption.
He is so enraged that he will be going to campaign against UMNO in Kuala Terengganu by-elections - so they should hope he is not from that state or the people there are going to hear the evils of corruption and deceit.

It should not be too difficult for the authorities to discover how the land use got changed.
According to the report, the disaster area
"stands on de-gazetted forest reserve, and that whole of what is now Bukit Antarabangsa was once a water catchment area."

I would imagine the land was not de-gazetted and sold directly to the developer but passed through a few RM2 companies linked to special cronies who would have made millions through the deals.
So instead of political leaders pointing fingers, let the ACA probe this claim of corruption as lives have been lost.
