- Zaliha was responding to a question from Zulkifli Ismail (Perikatan Nasional-Jasin) on the government’s long-term plan to preserve the identity, ownership and continuity of the Malay community in the city centre, especially in Kuala Lumpur, amid private-sector development.
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 5): The Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2040 aims to maintain the Malay and Bumiputera population at no less than 40% in the city, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
Among the strategies under consideration are affordable Malay housing, shops and light industries on Malay reserve land and Malay agricultural settlement land within the Federal Territories, she told the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday.
“The proposal is at an early study stage and will be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration,” she added.
Zaliha was responding to a question from Zulkifli Ismail (Perikatan Nasional-Jasin) on the government’s long-term plan to preserve the identity, ownership and continuity of the Malay community in the city centre, especially in Kuala Lumpur, amid private-sector development.
Since 2023, the Bumiputera quota has been raised to a minimum of 40% for private projects and 70% for government or joint ventures, applied to all planning approvals regardless of location or development type.
She stressed that Malay reserve land ownership must remain 100% Malay without compromise.
