It is the location of a somewhat controversial development where Asia's largest incinerator is to be built, designed to reduce Kuala Lumpur's dependence on landfill as a means of waste management. In early 2005, a temporary injunction was issued, stopping work on the project, in response to a lawsuit by residents of the two towns.
However, the injunction has since expired, and work has continued, much to the disappointment of the local residents.

Residents of Broga and adjacent communities and public interest groups have asked the government to cancel the project, citing critical public health, environmental, socio-economic and financial risks.
Affected residents are disappointed and distressed with the blatant refusal of the authorities to discuss and dialogue with the Broga/Semenyih No Incinerator Protem Committee (www.no-incinerators.com), which represents community members from 25 housing estates and several villages in Broga and surrounding areas.
