00:00In the context of urban development, the Kuala Lumpur 2040 Structure Plan or PSKL 2040
00:18and the Kuala Lumpur 2040 Structure Plan or DPTKL 2040 have identified 139 sites with an area of 3,036.81 acres
00:31with potential for redevelopment. These sites are areas with potential to become
00:38affordable housing when built in the future.
00:42To ensure that this affordable housing development target is achieved,
00:45the Kuala Lumpur 2040 Structure Plan has introduced the R4 zone,
00:51which is a special zone for affordable housing development, including public housing,
00:57with an area of 354.47 hectares.
01:01In addition, affordable housing is also planned in the mixed development zone
01:06with an area of 253.39 hectares.
01:23This potential area is for all categories of affordable housing,
01:27not limited to the JWP project only, i.e. Simadani Residency and WIP only.
01:33This project is not limited to government land only,
01:36but also takes into account the establishment of the private sector
01:40in line with the progress and commitment that has been given for the period up to 2040.
01:47Next, as a proactive and creative initiative to ensure that affordable housing
01:52can be accessed by those in need, the PTKL 2040 draft also includes 6 sites
01:58for subsidized or PAS housing on PASS land owned by Kuala Lumpur City Council.
02:07This program aims to provide special housing for the B40 group and some of the M40 group.
02:18The government is aware that the target of providing affordable housing is sufficient.
02:24In Kuala Lumpur, it will not be organized organically,
02:27because the nature of the construction industry is to prioritize profits.
02:30Therefore, affordable housing in Kuala Lumpur will be implemented in an organized and inclusive manner.
02:37In my answer to Mr. Razak, I would like to mention once again
02:44that 80,000 units of Simadani Residency and WIP are planned to be built
02:49for a period of 10 years, between 2018 and 2028.
02:54To date, 91% of the target has been achieved,
02:59with 72,864 units ready to be built through 101 projects
03:06in the 3rd district of Kuala Lumpur City Council and also in Labuan.
03:10This success is not just a coincidence,
03:13but is a result of the government's strategic plan
03:17that always adapts creative solutions to ensure that affordable housing can be built.
03:25The BKL has a plan that is clear in this matter.
03:31In addition to providing land to support this basic infrastructure development,
03:35the government uses a mechanism to charge development
03:38as well as a collection of money for the improvement service fund or ISF,
03:44which is quoted from the developers as a contribution to the development of public infrastructure,
03:49including the facilitation of education.
03:52This fund will be handed over to the relevant ministries,
03:55such as the Ministry of Education, School Funding,
03:59or for the failure of the developers to provide school facilitation.
04:04Developers who develop large-scale processes
04:07are also required to contribute to the basic infrastructure development
04:12through the mechanisms established by the BKL and the relevant ministries.
04:16With the increase in population,
04:18Kuala Lumpur needs a centrally located school,
04:22but the government is aware of the limited land space in Kuala Lumpur
04:29and the high cost will be a challenge for us.
04:35In addition, the BKL has proposed to discuss with the Ministry of Education
04:40and refine the concept of solid building in the construction of new schools in Kuala Lumpur.
04:46We can also learn from other countries.
04:50For example, this concept has been widely used in Australia,
04:54where schools were built conventionally
04:58including padang, several blocks of buildings and recreational areas.
05:02Now it is intensified into two blocks of schools,
05:06between 10 and 17 floors,
05:08without sacrificing important elements in learning,
05:14as well as sports and recreation,
05:16with designs that benefit every space,
05:21up to the space on the roof.
05:24That's all. Thank you.
