DBKL, Rehda Group ink partnership to rejuvenate Taman Botani Perdana

• The group: Rehda Institute, Rehda Wilayah Persekutuan (Kuala Lumpur) Branch, and GreenRE Sdn Bhd.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 17): The Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Rehda Group Collaborators—comprising Rehda Institute, Rehda Wilayah Persekutuan (Kuala Lumpur) Branch, and GreenRE Sdn Bhd—to rejuvenate Taman Botani Perdana under a people-public-private partnership framework.

In a press statement on Nov 15, the MOU signing was witnessed by the former mayor of Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Seri Maimunah Mohd Sharif, and attended by senior representatives from each collaborating organisation.

Representatives included DBKL executive director of social economic development Ismadi Sakirin, Rehda Institute chairman Datuk Jeffrey Ng Tiong Lip, Rehda Wilayah Persekutuan chairlady Carrie Fong Kah Wai and GreenRE director Datuk Muztaza Mohamad.

The initiative, anchored in corporate social responsibility and national relevance, aims to transform the park into a hub for environmental education, botanical research, community engagement and public recreation.

Initial efforts will focus on developing a master plan to revitalise key zones within the park, including Rumah Sampan, the Hibiscus Garden, and the Orchid Garden.

The collaboration supports several UN Sustainable Development Goals and seeks to strengthen Taman Botani Perdana’s role as Kuala Lumpur’s principal green lung.
