Two non-governmental organisations (NGOs) today failed to obtain leave from the High Court to challenge the Selangor state government’s action in allowing development at the Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve.

Lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan, representing Pertubuhan Pelindung Khazanah Alam (Peka) and the Shah Alam Community Forest Society (SACF) told Bernama that judge Shahnaz Sulaiman dismissed his clients’ application for leave for judicial review with no order as to costs.
