PETALING JAYA (Jan 20): Large-scale developments in Kuala Lumpur will not be allowed without feedback from the respective areas’ Members of Parliament’s (MPs’), effective immediately.

The operations will focus on tourist hotspots to curb bad habits among locals and tourists who often dispose of small litter such as cigarette butts and drink bottles in public areas, as well as spit on walkways, which not only dirties the surroundings but also tarnishes the country’s image.

“The cooperation formalised today opens new opportunities for Kuala Lumpur to expand its global network, understand development approaches in East Africa, and enhance the city’s technical capacity in line with current needs,” said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

The group: Rehda Institute, Rehda Wilayah Persekutuan (Kuala Lumpur) Branch, and GreenRE Sdn Bhd.

Petronas announced Maimunah’s appointment as its property adviser, effective Monday (Nov 17).

DBKL assured residents "that every decision related to urban development is always based on existing policies and the gazetted development plans.

Unless substantial amendments are made or both legislations are forthwith withdrawn, they risk undermining property rights, community participation, and the democratic governance of the city of KL.

“The city has a budget of about RM3 billion—larger than Johor’s and close to Selangor’s—yet residents currently have no direct voice in the governance of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

Zaliha stressed that demand for homes in Kuala Lumpur remains strong, noting that unsold units in the city declined by 10.

"We are pleased with the decision by DBKL, which acknowledges the positive findings regarding the safety and stability aspects outlined in the independent report," said TCS director Datuk Tee Chai Seng.
