History

On 22 October 2017, the Taman Mahkota Jubli Emas public park was officially opened. It was part of the Sungai Kedayan Eco-Corridor Project which aims to redevelop the area.[1][2] The consequence of this project caused Kampong Sungai Kedayan, one of the oldest village in the area,[3] to be demolished.[4]
