Stesen MRT boleh kurangkan kesesakan di Bandar Madani, kata Ahli Parlimen

Bandar Madani development in Bukit Jalil could benefit from an MRT station, says MP Teresa Kok. The additional station would alleviate heavy traffic congestion and improve transportation for residents in surrounding areas like Bandar Kinrara and Puncak Jalil, where congestion is becoming increasingly severe. Kok urged the government and DBKL to reconsider the plot ratio for the project, which is expected to have 17,000 Rumah Madani units on a 26.3ha site.

She argued that the development could exacerbate traffic issues due to already approved housing units and ongoing construction in the area. Kok urged DBKL to resist pressure to proceed with the 17,000-unit project without evaluating its impact on the surrounding region. Though she supports DBKL's review of land-use zoning under the Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2040, she stressed that the review would be futile if DBKL continues rejecting proposals on the basis that they contradict the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2040.

Kok also called on the Election Commission to review parliamentary constituency boundaries in the Klang Valley, particularly in Selangor, where significant population growth and voter numbers have occurred. She cited constituencies like Damansara, Klang, Kapar, and Bangi as examples of areas with disproportionately higher populations and voters compared to other parliamentary constituencies.
