Amid public outcry over massive land reclamation works and environmental concerns, the Department of Environment (DOE) has given the green light to the developer of the Forest City project in Johor to go ahead with its RM600 billion mixed-development project.
Country Garden Pacific View (CGPV) said the DOE had approved the project's detailed environmental impact assessment report (DEIA), which means the developer can proceed with earthworks and construction.
The Forest City project will see four man-made islands built in the waters in Tanjung Kupang between south-west Johor and north-west of Singapore.
CGP is a 66-34% joint-venture between China’s Country Garden Holdings Ltd and Esplanade Danga 88 Sdn Bhd, whose main shareholder is the Sultan of Johor.
Johor state company Kumpulan Prasarana Rakyat Johor (KPRJ) is also a partner in the project.
