THE developer of Malaysia's controversial Forest City in the Johor Straits has denied reports that the 1,600 hectare reclamation project has been shrunk to a quarter of its size following directions by the Department of Environment (DoE).

Country Garden Pacific (CGP) View Sdn Bhd executive director Md Othman said in a statement on Monday that limiting the project's size was never discussed with the DoE.
