Attention outdoor lovers! Recently, a sudden announcement was made by the Selangor Forestry Department, stating that all of Selangor’s permanent forest reserves will be closed starting 1 December 2021 till 31 January 2022.
There was no reason given as to why the forests will be closed, although most speculate that it’s due to the monsoon season. Either way, the temporary closure has left many who frequent these hiking spots bummed. The notice also warns that anyone who disobeys this instruction will have legal actions taken against them under Sections 47 (1) and 81 (1) (g) of the National Forestry Act 1985 (Application) Enactment.
