DBKL freezes all unapproved projects

PETALING JAYA (May 14): Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has frozen all unapproved projects, including those built on hillslopes and public spaces, reported Malaysiakini.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Tan Sri Mohd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz told Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil, Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun and Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng about the decision during their courtesy call to him this morning.

“Amin Nordin told us that all projects that have been approved will proceed as usual, but unapproved projects will be put on hold,” said Fahmi.

The mayor did not name specific projects that were affected.

Meanwhile, Amin Nordin said the unapproved projects will not be considered unless they complied with regulations.

“(We will be) putting on hold all projects that have not been approved. Those with development orders from the district officer can proceed.

“‘Put on hold’ means projects will not be considered unless they comply with all requirements,” he said.
