Launched in 15 May 2008, the Draft Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 (‘the Plan’) was formulated with the vision of Kuala Lumpur as a sustainable city of world class standing, where our beloved city strikes a balance between physical, economic, social and environmental development. Specifically, this is envisaged as possible through the Plan’s guidance on use of land, its intensity of use as well as other physical and infrastructure development.

The Plan was first scheduled for gazettement in 2009, before it was postponed several times. This delay has carried on until 2017, when the Federal Government expressed the possibility of discarding the Plan in favour of a new and distant Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2050. While planning the future of our cityscape is essential, we assert that in the interim, all current development of buildings and land in the city of Kuala Lumpur must also adhere to comprehensive guidelines that will ensure sustainable development.

Compared to most Malaysian policies, the Plan underwent a rigorous public participation process ranging from focus group discussions, stakeholders interview and engagement as well and public workshops and seminars. Together, we have decided on how to prevent land use conflict, to balance our population distribution, and to ensure adequate protection for the environment.

In summary, the Plan is a time-sensitive and pressing imperative, and a matter of utmost public importance. As such, we demand that the Minister of Federal Territories, Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan TengkuMansor facilitate the gazetting of the Plan by:

  • Arranging a meeting with all 11 Members of Parliament representing constituencies in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur to discuss matters inhibiting the gazetting of the Plan;
  • Organising a public hearing session to inform stakeholders that have provided feedback to improve the Plan of the Minister’s proposed changes, and to receive testimony on their views towards gazetting the Plan; and,
  • Committing to a timeline to prevent unnecessary delays in the gazetting of the Plan.

We, the undersigned hope that you will take serious and practical measures to gazette the Draft Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020.

Thank you.

Too many areas under the DBKL Jurisdiction are having problems with irresponsible Planning Approvals being issued in direct violation of the plan- the KL City Plan 2020 was created for a reason! The Mayor and FT Minister should respect the plan and the people who live in all these areas, and GAZETTE it!

Please respect the residents wish to gazette the plan, and avoid construction a 6 lane highway through this beautiful housing estate.

Sebarang projek pembangunan seharusnya dirancang dengan mengambil kira impak kepada alam sekitar dan penduduk setempat, tidak semata-mata kepada keinginan syarikat pembangunan yang hanya mementingkan keuntungan. Malaysia sekarang mampunyai komitmen mencapai Sasaran Pembangunan Lestari (Sustainable Develoment Goals) yang perlu dipatuhi.

Pass the Master plan and follow it to ensure Kuala Lumpur does not end up in mess. Doing otherwise is having intentions to benefit from it work maneuvering round this self created scenario.

Please preserve those land meant for "Kawasan Awam" including parks, lest our children will be deprived of these green lungs. Dont just think about development which translates to MONEY. Think about our future!

The KL Development Plan need to be more transparent and following the SOP. The contractors need to be more independent from any lobbyist from individual or unnecessary control from other party/parties. The development need to be more strategic and need to be presented in lower house. The timeline need to be predicted well to avoid any mass construction which can destroy the scenery, environment and promote diseases at the nearest neighbourhood.
