Federal territories minister Hannah Yeoh said there are now 552 open space lots gazetted across Kuala Lumpur. The open spaces amount to a total area of 4.86 sq km, or 1.89% of the total area of the city. It reinforces the protection of open spaces so that they can continue serving as public areas for recreation, leisure and community activities, while minimising the risk of future land-use changes.”
