  SJK (T) Cheras in Kuala Lumpur and its community are strongly opposing a 42-storey high-rise project near the school, citing serious risks to students' safety, health, and academic performance due to construction noise, pollution, and traffic hazards. The school board chairman, V. Kumar Veeran, criticized Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) for approving the project without proper consultation and lack of transparency, urging them to cancel it and allow the school to use the land for a field. The school, established in 1947, previously had a field but used the land for additional classrooms in 2017 due to increased student numbers.
