JWP, DBKL told to act as PAC flags issues in KL land development

• Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said land development in Kuala Lumpur must be understood within the broader framework of legislation, urban planning policies and government-approved development guidelines.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 26): The Federal Territories Department (JWP) and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) have been directed to review all recommendations by the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) concerning land development in the capital despite some issues falling outside their jurisdiction.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the agencies must evaluate the recommendations, particularly those within their scope of authority, following the PAC report's tabling in Parliament today.

“All relevant parties, including the JWP director-general and the Mayor of Kuala Lumpur, were summoned by the PAC and provided full cooperation throughout the proceedings,” she said in a statement.

Zaliha said land development in Kuala Lumpur must be understood within the broader framework of legislation, urban planning policies and government-approved development guidelines.

She reaffirmed the Madani government’s commitment to ensuring that all land development efforts in the capital are transparent, well-regulated and guided by good governance for the benefit of the public and the sustainability of the city.
