KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 — Plans are underway to build 8,000 Residensi Madani units in Kuala Lumpur starting in June this year, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Dr Zaliha Mustafa.
The units, priced at around RM200,000 each, are designed to cater to the needs of low and middle-income groups.
“The concept mirrors that of Residensi Wilayah in Putrajaya except that in Kuala Lumpur, it is called Residensi Madani,” she said during a press conference after the Kuala Lumpur Green Tea Programme organised by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) today.
Also present were Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil and Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Kamarulzaman Mat Salleh.
Earlier, media reports stated that 10,000 Residensi Madani and Residensi Wilayah units will be developed in Putrajaya starting this year, with completion expected by 2027.
Meanwhile, at the event, 37 pots of bubur lambuk (rice porridge) and 37 cauldrons of dodol were prepared to be distributed to all present.
The Green Tea Programme for this edition was coordinated in partnership with various entities, including the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur Association Against Drug Abuse (Pemadam), communities representing all Parliamentary constituencies in Kuala Lumpur, including DBKL staff, involving 1,000 participants.
