KUALA LUMPUR: The federal territories ministry has finished reviewing 102 out of 176 dubious project approvals under the previous administration, with the remainder still under the scrutiny of the special task force in charge.
Speaking at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) headquarters here after meeting with Kuala Lumpur MPs, Federal Territories Minister Khalid Abdul Samad said the 102 projects fell under 11 categories.
“Some were terminated as they violated the Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020, and some have had their building plans improved to fulfil development regulations.
“There are also several projects whose land the ministry bought back from the developers as those were areas which are not suitable for development purposes,” he said, citing as examples the Bukit Nanas foothills, Bandar Tun Razak, Jalan Jejaka in Cheras and Taman Wahyu in Kepong.
It was reported in September that the federal territories ministry would review more than 100 commercial projects put on hold by DBKL since May due to inadequate documentation.
Khalid said then that most of these projects had been approved by the previous government but were not properly documented.
“We have to take into account many considerations as the developers were officially informed of the approvals for these projects,” he said.
“To be fair to them, we had to review all the projects as some had already received development orders.”
On the 74 projects still under review, he said most had encountered problems as the developer had not fulfilled the permitted plot ratio, building height and area density.
“Some have sent us appeals to approve the projects, but we have to continue studying what can be done (before a decision) can be finalised,” he said.
