Several NGO groups notably Sahabat Alam Malaysia and KUASA have voiced their sentiment against the projects.

The Rakyat too such as HHH or Hash House Harriers have already made it clear that they are against development and NGO’s have even volunteered to replant the cleared ground.

Now photographers Goh Ah Poon and Dr TM Chan too have voiced their concerns though their collection of photos depicting Bukit Kledang's destruction.

Goh lives in the vicinity of Bukit Kledang and used to take beautiful sunrise and sunset photos from the hill but volunteered his expertise.
