Residents want ‘mega’ govt housing project in Bukit Jalil scrapped
Coalition of residents' associations claims the Bandar Madani Bukit Jalil scheme deviates from the Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2040.
A coalition of Kuala Lumpur residents' associations is demanding that a proposed mega housing project in Bukit Jalil be abandoned. The Gabungan Persatuan Penduduk argues the project conflicts with Kuala Lumpur's Local Plan (PTKL) 2040. Chairman Zainuddin Zainal accused the government of disregarding local opposition. About 30 residents gathered outside Parliament holding placards.
The coalition contends the 17,000-unit project on 46.73 acres, with a plot ratio of 1:7.1, exceeds PTKL 2040 ratios of 1:3.0 and 1:5.0. They question why registrations are open while a community-requested PTKL review continues. The coalition warns infrastructure strain would worsen with projected unit numbers rising to 95,859 by 2031.
Pakatan Harapan MPs Teresa Kok, Tan Kok Wai, Zahir Hassan, and V Ganabatirau received the memorandum. Kok praised the 75 organisations opposing the project and criticized PR1MA Corporation Malaysia for alleged planning violations. She urged halting registrations until micro-planning studies are complete and PTKL 2040 is reviewed, promising to deliver the memorandum to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and advocate for direct dialogue.
