Selangor Sultan Agrees With Development For Kampung Baru - Raja Nong Chik
August 26, 2010 00:11 AM
http://www.bernama.com.my/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=524051

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 25 (Bernama) -- The Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah supports and agrees with the government's decision to develop Kampung Baru, according to Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin.

"However, the Sultan wants the Kampung Baru Jamek Mosque and Sultan Sulaiman Club, which are the area's landmarks, to be preserved.

"The Sultan welcomes development for Kampung Baru. But what is important, as His Majesty, has reminded, is not to forget the history of Kampung Baru.

"The Sultan has asked that the two landmarks not be altered; can be renovated but not relocated," Raja Nong Chik told reporters here after attending a breaking-of-fast and handing over of Raya contributions to 100 orphans and single mothers from the Pusat Asuhan Hajah Kamariah, Kampung Medan.

He was earlier asked to comment on his meeting with the Selangor Sultan Tuesday.

Raja Nong Chik said the Sultan also reminded that the Malay characteristics of Kampung Baru and Malay interests in the area be protected in line with commercialisation of the land there, according to the current market price.

"This is for the price offered by the land owners and their beneficiaries not to be vastly different from the market price. So, we need to find a suitable model."

He said his ministry had in fact discussed some suitable models which would be put forward to the land owners and their beneficiaries for them to select a suitable one.

Nong Chik refutes claims that Gabem will spearhead Kg Baru development
Thursday August 26, 2010
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2010/8/26/central/6918955&sec=central

FEDERAL Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin has denied claims that Gagasan Badan Ekonomi Melayu (Gabem) will spearhead the Kampung Baru Development Body.

The claims were made by Titiwangsa MP Dr Lo’ Lo’ Ghazali on an online website.

He said Gabem was never part of the discussion. “I never thought of including Gabem into the body because it is unrelated. Our priority is the non-governmental organisations directly involved with Kg Baru,” he said.

Nong Chik said they would like to resolve the matter without any political agenda as it could derail the entire project.

He also said the layout plan would be released in February to be viewed by the public.

During his visit to the Masjid India and Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman’s Ramadan bazaars on Aug 24, Nong Chik checked for discrepancies in prices and licenses and found none.

He said he was looking at new ideas to improve the Ramadan bazaars in Kuala Lumpur especially along Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman.

“We are looking at tightening the applications for the Ramadan bazaars at these two places since they are hotspots,” he said.

Traders may be asked to put in deposits and give a list of names involved in the business during the application.

Nong Chik will also be visiting Singapore this weekend to check on the bazaars for pointers.

Arina to build 21-storey tower in Kg Baru
Published: 2010/10/06
http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/20101006160743/Article/index_html

Arina Development (M) Sdn Bhd will build a 21-storey business suite at Jalan Raja Muda Abdul Aziz in Kampung Baru, the only Malay heartland in metropolitan Kuala Lumpur.

The RM26 million Arina-Uniti Tower, on a 16,858 sq ft site, is a joint-venture between the company and Kampung Baru landowners.

Project Director Mohd Nasir Che Fa said contractors have been appointed and work to demolish a three-storey old building had started.

Piling work is expected to start next month and the project is slated for completion in two-and-a-half years or three years, he told reporters.


Arina-Uniti Tower comprises 130 units of business suites and will have six levels of parking bays.

The business lots are of various sizes, ranging from 35 sq ft to 778 sq ft, costing between RM145,477 and RM443,411. Each sq ft costs RM450. Fifty-three units have been sold out.

Mohd Nasir said the tower would have facilities like a meeting room, mini-theatre, cafetaria with internet and Wi-Fi facilities and fitted with 24-hour closed-circuit television cameras and access card to enter and exit the building.

It seems that way because of PTT standing out from the others. I think if there are at least 3 more supertalls in the vicinity it would keep them quiet for one week. It's all relative and visual perception...look at other mega cities such as sao paulo, tokyo, etc. that have numerous 10 to 40-storey buildings which make it consistent and uniform, hence look "dense" and imagine if there is a single 100-storey tower that dwarfs everything else in that city, it sure turns that city into something like Taipei, which I am pretty sure these "dense" people think of Taipei not being dense at all, but it is!

Oh yeah, those raintrees that obscure KL's shorter buildings don't help either! But it is what it is...KL has lots of green! That's very cool indeed as those other bigger cities don't have.

Bill paves way for Kg Baru development
By LEE YUK PENG and THEAN LEE CHENG
starbiz@thestar.com.my


PETALING JAYA: The Government has paved the way for the development of Kampung Baru with the first reading of the Kampung Baru Development Corporation 2010 bill at the Dewan Rakyat last Tuesday.

The tabling of the bill will set in motion the setting up of the Kampung Baru Development Corp (KBDC). Debate of the bill in Dewan Rakyat is scheduled for March next year

Talks on developing Kg Baru, which comprises 378.93 acres of land set amid the central business district of Kuala Lumpur, have been on and off in the last several years.

Abdul Rahim, who is also property consultancy Savills Rahim & Co's executive chairman and founder, said the KBDC board would have a chairman, to be appointed by the Federal Territories Minister and to be approved by the Prime Minister.

It wil also have four representatives from the federal government, the secretary-general of the FT Ministry, a commissioner of the City of KL, a representative from Selangor to be nominated by the Selangor sultan because the Kg Baru Enactment was done under Selangor, two representatives to be nominated from among the land owners of Kg Baru, and up to six others who have expertise for the development.

In addition to that, Abdul Rahim said an advisory council consisting of a chairman to be appointed by the minister and 15 representatives of Kg Baru would also be set up.

A fund, known as the Kampung Baru Development Corporation Fund, would also be set up under the proposed act.

It also enables the corporation to borrow money and invest the money of the corporation.

The proposed act states that the corporation should not sign any contract exceeding RM10mil without the approval of the FT Minister and Finance Minister.

it's hard when you deal with those villagers. if easy, kg baru is already a modern 'village' since 90's.

Kg Baru bill to be tabled this year
Wednesday February 2, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/2/2/nation/7919627&sec=nation

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry will table the Kampung Baru Development Corporation Bill for the second and third reading in Parliament this year, its minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said.

He said that after the Bill is approved, the corporation would serve as the governing body to develop, coordinate and regulate development in Kampung Baru.

“It is in line with the government’s aspiration, and that of the land owners, as well as the beneficiaries, to see the historical Malay settlement area developed,” he added.

He said this in his loyalty speech at the investiture ceremony in conjunction with Federal Territories Day at Istana Melawati here yesterday.

Kampung Baru is a 110-year-old area comprising seven villages, covering 90.2ha and with about 35,000 residents. – Bernama

This is the proposed building in Kampung Baru. 5 reasons why the building is horrible:

1.Hideous name under Menara As Sofa. WHAT IS THIS!! Zero meaning and use the word 'sofa'. I'm not really being racism but people would laugh at this name and give extremely bad name to KL.
2.Freaky ghost. Islam suppose not to care or no ghost in KL, this will be the 1st to haunt KL.
3.Ruins KL's futuristic skyline. I wouldn't expect this would mate with the other skyscrapers.
4.Stupid architect and the people who approved this design. Is there a special design. NOTHING!!
5.The worst is that, this Islamic tower really sucks. No meaning, change the design and too many Islamic building. Are we going to be Dubai II?

Buck up whoever this stupid architect and change into a proper one.

stop being racist. it's his money & his right to build whatever god damn tower.

When ppls watch KL from KL tower, they will be scared when looking to the north.

Is this for real?? What a fucken joke! What's the rationale behind the 'topeng'? Does it mean anything?

you're even a joke. let him be, he wanna build any horror building or what, his own money.

what's the problem with that? u like boobs looking tower is it?

Hey buddy heard of word of opinion..if he happens to dislike the tower let him.I clearly see you have a fetish for it and am preety sure you would build shit like this if you happen to have the cash..Point is go easy and stop acting like a dad!!

'Islamic' tower? that means we oso have 'Kafir' tower or Secular tower meh? :lol:

you're even a joke. let him be, he wanna build any horror building or what, his own money.

what's the problem with that? u like boobs looking tower is it?

So you are saying that anyone can build ugly things in your city and you can't say anything if it's not built with your money? Ok from now on, no more criticisms on anything cuz nothing is built with your money. Be a man of your word, OK?

stop being racist. it's his money & his right to build whatever god damn tower.

I'm not being racist and I am only demanding for the design of the tower to be changed ASAP. People will really criticize our building and would laugh, seriously laugh. Unless you LOVE the tower a lot, buy an office or if it is residental, your new apartment and stay there. That is not what I call Islamic building. It should look like this:

From : Kosmo Online :

KUALA LUMPUR – Sebuah bangunan hotel dan kondominium setinggi 40 tingkat dikenali sebagai Mercu Zikay akan dibina di Kampung Baru di sini.

Pengarah Urusan Zikay Group, Datuk Mohd. Khay Ibrahim berkata, projek mercu tanda Zikay bernilai RM190 juta itu merangkumi 289 bilik hotel dan 130 unit kondominium.

“Kondominium ini akan dijual pada harga RM850 bagi satu kaki persegi selain turut disediakan perkhidmatan helikopter di bumbung bangunan,” katanya melalui satu kenyataan semalam.

Kampung Baru going cyber
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kampung Baru is all ready to be transformed into a cyber town.

Ninety-nine per cent of its stake-holders have given their approval to shed the settlement’s image as a rustic village following a fruitful discussion with the Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry.

Its minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said although only 1% of stakeholders were against the plan, it was a small problem that could be easily sorted out in the name of development.

“Most of them are in favour of development but we hope to sort out the problem with the one per cent who are opposing the development.

“They have their reasons but I am sure they will eventually learn that their interests will not be compromised,’’ said Nong Chik.

He added that the ownership problem for lots had not been settled yet. “For example, there are 880 lots with 4,500 owners. There is also a lot that is over 100 years old and has 143 owners,” said Nong Chik.

He said in order for a smooth transition to take place, the ministry had formed a body comprising representatives from non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to collate feedback from the stakeholders and have their say in the development of the 110-year-old village.

“A survey will be done to garner feedback and suggestions from landowners. We will then hold a vote to allow the people there to decide on the development process,’’ added Nong Chik.

He said new suggestions were received during a recent meeting with the stakeholders and NGOs and in view of this the ministry had decided to extend the deadline from March to June.

He said the ministry had also formed a team to go to the ground to give landowners a better understanding of the project and to enable residents to give suggestions on how Kampung Baru should be re-developed.

“Hopefully, everything will be sorted out by June, especially matters pertaining to land issues and the role of the Kampung Baru Develop-ment Corporation.

“A final draft plan on Kampung Baru will then be drawn up after that,’’ said Nong Chik.

He said several meetings had been held in the past on the redevelopment project and today’s meeting gave the stakeholders a better understanding of the concept proposed by the government.

Also present at the meeting were Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Fuad Ismail and FT Ministry secretary-general Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib.

The plan to redevelop Kampung Baru took root on Feb 6 last year during a visit by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

After several attempts in the last 50 years to redevelop the village, the cybertown looks set to become a reality when the Cabinet agreed to the concept and redevelopment plans.

Monitoring Kampung Baru
By CHOONG MEK ZHIN Wednesday March 16, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/3/16/central/8257344&sec=central

A SITE office with a dedicated team of officers will be set up in Kamapuing Baru next month to convince the residents of the Government’s commitment in developing the area and enabling closer communication between the villagers and authorities.

Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said this during a speech at the launch of the Titiwangsa Umno branch meeting.

“The team comprising ministry officers as well as the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will identify infrastructure in Kampung Baru in need of repair so that the value of the place will appreciate,” he said.

He said the office was not set up to hasten development of the settlement but to serve as a place for the authorities to monitor development in the area.

“It will also make it easier for residents to contact DBKL or the ministry as the office can be a meeting place rather than them having to go to our respective offices,” he added.

Nong Chik said the wording in the Kampung Baru Development Corporation Bill draft was being amended by the Attorney-General’s chambers.

“We will discuss the new draft with the various non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who represent the owners of Kampung Baru and once everyone agrees to the amendement, we will go around Kampung Baru to explain the draft to the people,” he said.

He said that they would invite all owners to vote on developing the place and if 90% of them agreed, the development would be carried out.

“It is difficult to get 100% agreement. I hope Kampung Baru will not become like one area in Kampung Kerinchi where a mere 36 owners have stalled the development hopes of more than 500 owners who have already moved out and taken up temporary housing offers,” he said.

Nong Chik said he was confident that a majority of the owners wanted to develop the land but if they voted otherwise, the Government would try to find other methods more agreeable to them.

He also assured the owners that only Government-linked corporations (GLCs) would be involved in the development of Kampung Baru and those who wanted to develop their own land could also do so with facilitation from the Development Corporation.

The second reading of the bill in Parliament is scheduled for June.

RM15m infrastructure upgrade for Kg Baru

The Kampung Baru Secretariat office, where residents can give
their feedback and make enquiries, is in a multipurpose hall.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing ministry will be spending RM15 million on the upgrading of infrastructure in Kampung Baru.

The upgrading works, which will include drainage, road and public amenities, in the oldest Malay enclave here will take place as soon as the Prime Ministers Department's Economic Planning Unit grant the approval on the budget.

FT minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin announced this recently at the launch of the Kampung Baru Development Secretariat office in the multipurpose hall in Jalan Haji Hashim/ Jalan Hamzah.

Also present was ministry secretary general Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib and representatives of the Kampung Baru stakeholders and non-government organisations.

The secretariat office is next to the Malay Agriculture Settlement office.

The secretariat office is a channel for the residents to give their feedback or make enquiries regarding the Kampung Baru redevelopment plan.

"The Kampung Baru Development Corporation draft bill has been finalised and waiting for the Attorney General's approval, probably by end of this month. After that, we will inform the landowners of the outcome of the draft bill," he said.

The draft bill is slated for second reading in Parliament in June.

Nong Chik said he encouraged private companies which own land in the Kampung Baru to start developing their properties.

The secretariat office opens on Monday and Friday, from 8.30am until 5.30 pm.

Kg Baru folk still worried about land premiums
By FAZLEENA AZIZ Monday June 6, 2011
http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/6/6/central/8842851&sec=central

CONCERNS over land premiums and titles took centre stage at the Kampung Baru redevelopment briefing organised by the Federal Territories and Urban Well-being Ministry.

Several landowners expressed worries about the change of land status to city centre commercial while others were worried about their Bumiputra status.

The briefing saw representatives from the Kampung Baru Development Association (PPKB), the Persatuan Anak-Anak Kampung Baru (PAKAM), and the Kampung Baru Malay Agricultural Settlement (MAS) explaining the Kampung Baru Development Bill and the amendments that have been made on the request of the residents.

Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Ministry secretary-general Datuk Ahmad Phesal Talib, deputy secretary-general Datuk Adnan Ikhsan and Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) director-general Datuk Salleh Yusup were also present at briefing.

They spoke about the Kampung Baru Development Corporation, which will act as a facilitator and oversee the redevelopment.

This is to ensure the development protects the interests of the landowners.

A plot ratio of 10 has been set by the DBKL for the settlement and the land value is expected to soar but landownership or grant matters must be resolved first.

Investors eyeing the redevelopment include Tabung Haji, the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and a subsidiary of Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB).

Putrajaya Holdings has also expressed an interest in the area.

Retiree Samat Taib, 72, wants assurances about his land title before any redevelopment.

Meanwhile, Salleh Ali, 57, felt that as Kampung Baru was the last Malay frontier, the Bumiputra rights of the land was a priority.

He suggested the land be rezoned as a Malay Commercial Centre instead.

Secretary Zarina Mohd, 48 is more than happy to sell the land for development but the rate should be reasonable.

Meanwhile, FT minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin said that the change of land title was a standard procedure decided by the land executive council.

He said there will not be any changes to the rights of the bumiputras as it will be embedded in the terms of the titles.

“There are concerns about the premiums but we can ensure the charges are nominal and based on the land enhancement value after the conversion,” he said, adding the landowners had a right to ask for improvements.

Raja Nong Chik said the ministry had received memorandums from other Malay settlements where the residents are keen to have their land titles changed like Kampung Baru.

“We will see the success of Kampung Baru before using the same model for other areas,” he said.

A total of five briefing sessions involving seven villages will be carried out until June 11 to explain the development plans, provide the latest information on incentives by the government and get feedback from the landowners.

Kampung Baru redevelopment – an ambitious project

Land dilemma: The redevelopment of Kampung Baru (beneath the KL city
skyline) is potentially a very problematic one due to multiple ownership of land.

THE impending redevelopment of Kampung Baru, which is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, will be one of the most challenging urban regeneration projects by the Government.

A source from a local council says: “The redevelopment of Kampung Baru is potentially going to be the most problematic, but it will also be one of the most ambitious ones ever undertaken by the Government by virtue of one single factor multiple ownership of land.”

While two other prime ministers had toyed with the idea, it is only under Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak that a Kampong Baru Development Corp Bill was drafted by the Attorney-General's office. The bill was first tabled last year in Parliament and according to Senator Datuk Abdul Rahim Rahman, who is also the executive chairman of Rahim & Co group of companies, it will most certainly be debated in the September Parliament session.

“There are certain misconceptions that need to be cleared. The first is that many assume the Government is going to buy up the whole 200 over acres. The Government is not going to do that. The Government will not use the Land Acquisition Act 1960. The redevelopment exercise will be through negotiations and will be counting on the rapport with the owners.

Amended Kampung Baru Development Bill to be tabled

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will table an amended Kampung Baru Development Corporation Bill following the withdrawal of an earlier bill in Parliament Monday.

Federal Terrritories Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik said the earlier bill tabled last year was withdrawn to alllow amendments to be made, following negotiations and discussions with stakeholders, landowners, beneficiaries and non-governmental bodies.

"The amended bill is scheduled to be tabled today and is a result of consultations and negotiations with all parties concerned," he told reporters at Parliament lobby.

Among the notable changes were the appointment of landowners and beneficiaries as the deputy chairmen of the proposed 15-panel corporation.

This, he added, excluded the appointment of five landowners and beneficiaries into the corporation that will help facilitate the future development of 80ha of land by government-linked companies involving seven villages in the heart of the city.

He also said the amendments will do away with the corporations' power to acquire the land for development.

Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin reiterated that Kampung Baru will only be developed if the landowners and heirs agree to it.

^^ Yup, only after opposition parties and the residents opposed land-grabbing, just like what the government is doing now with Bukit Bintang and Petaling Street residents for the MRT project. At Kampung Baru, the government finally backed off. BN can say anything now, but Malaysians already know that its public image has long been damaged.





Kampung Baru folk want development Bill scrapped

By Melissa Chi
Yahoo News

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — Kampung Baru landowners want the government to scrap a proposed law which would give Putrajaya full authority and immunity from legal proceedings with regards to developing the 111-year-old Malay enclave.

“We are not against development, but we are fighting the way the government wants to take over our properties, through Parliament, which I think is wrong,” Mohd Nor Hassan, 56, one of the landowners, told reporters at the PAS headquarters here.

Although Putrajaya had said that the Kampung Baru Development Bill will go through a second reading during the next parliamentary sitting in October, the landowners have opposed it.




Rising anger in Kampung Baru against Raja Nong Chik

By Syed Mu’az Syed Putra and Yow Hong Chieh
The Yahoo News/The Malaysian Insider

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Barisan Nasional (BN) risks losing Malay votes over its heavy-handed approach to Kampung Baru’s redevelopment, which residents have characterised as “robbery by stealth” of Malay reserve land.

Banners critical of the Federal Territories Minister and the Kampung Baru Development Corporation (PPKB) Bill have recently appeared in the settlement, put up by residents unhappy they were not consulted before the Bill was drafted.

Many remain suspicious of plans to open up the area to non-Malays and the apparent sidelining of the Kampung Baru Malay Agricultural Settlement Administrative Board (MAS), which has administered Kampung Baru since 1900.

Almost all also question if their community will remain as close-knit as now if the transition to high-rise living is made. Increased density is necessary to unlock the value of the land in Kampung Baru, officials have said.

But most controversial of all are the considerable powers the Bill grants to Raja Datuk Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin and PPKB to implement and supervise redevelopment.

The Bill also confers complete immunity to the corporation and its members from legal action, although Raja Nong Chik has since told MAS that the provision will be removed by the next reading in June.

Zauriah Mat Nenggal, 77, told The Malaysian Insider she is completely opposed to the Bill and asked the minister not to bother the Malay settlement.

“Raja Nong Chik has the heart of a Jew... The Jews tear down Arab homes to build houses but Raja Nong Chik wants to take Malay land for development,” she said.

“Raja Nong Chik has no heart... Why does he want to disturb Kampung Baru?”

Jamaluddin Kamat, 54, said he was not opposed to development but stressed that there appeared to be an “agenda” behind the Bill, which would give the government full rights over land in Kampung Baru.

“For me the Bill does not guarantee the future of owners and beneficiaries. If we agree, what assurance can the government give us?” he asked.

He said the Bill was not needed to redevelop the area as the settlement already had MAS, which was a trusted and familiar entity in Kampung Baru.

“We trust MAS to manage development and the government should help, but not by passing a Bill with unknown functions,” he said.

Titiwangsa MP Dr Lo’ Lo’ Ghazali told The Malaysian Insider that Kampung Baru residents were “very angry” and wished to scrap the current Bill so a new one can be drafted with their help.

She said they were not happy that Raja Nong Chik only met them for consultation after the first reading of the Bill in December last year, despite promising to do so in September.

Lo’ Lo’ also slammed Umno for “denying the rights” of Malays in Kampung Baru through the current Bill, which will dissolve MAS and repeal the enactment that created the settlement.

“Umno as a government is trying to repeal the enactment which has all the while maintained the uniqueness (of Kampung Baru),” she said, pointing out that even the Japanese occupiers in World War II had respected the enactment.

She said she expects the issue to affect Malay votes “a lot”, although she stressed that she was concerned about Kampung Baru as an MP and not as an opposition politician.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak intends to transform the 111-year-old settlement into an icon of Malay pride and ownership in the heart of the nation’s capital.

The redevelopment was announced as a signature project under the Economic Transformation Plan’s (ETP) Greater Kuala Lumpur national key economic area (NKEA).

But it has since hit one hurdle after another in this historic and fiercely independent all-Malay enclave, which resisted previous redevelopment initiatives going back to the time of former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

One day sometime in the future a kid will ask his parents why is this place called Kg Baru when its more like a ghetto caught in a time warp:ohno:

there's already provision in the land code where the government can take your land against your will but w/ compensation.

of course, having this clause is like having nukes: having the power doesn't means that you need to use it.

One day sometime in the future a kid will ask his parents why is this place called Kg Baru when its more like a ghetto caught in a time warp:ohno:

Remove NEP, enable the bumis to be self-sufficient and competitive, and you'll see KB develop in no time, and benefitting the residents.....without BN having a hand in it,of course.

there's already provision in the land code where the government can take your land against your will but w/ compensation.

of course, having this clause is like having nukes: having the power doesn't means that you need to use it.

Then why did they have to re-draft the bill in 2010 to enforce land-taking (with compensation) and then not allowing the residents to take legal actions against the government afterwards? We can see that by having this new clause added (cannot sue government), the government is ready to low-ball the residents when it comes to compensation. Then they would probably sell the lands cheap to their cronies (or GLCs) and make huge profits out of it. This is nothing new in Malaysia. Noone is against sustainable and healthy development, but this new bill is simply not acceptable. Thank God for a more knowlegeable KB folks and of course, opposition parties who supported them against it.

One day sometime in the future a kid will ask his parents why is this place called Kg Baru when its more like a ghetto caught in a time warp:ohno:

And then Kg Baru will become Bandar Baru:lol::lol::lol:

That will have to start from NOW!:lol:Kampung Baru is really a sad chapter of our beloved city!Just imagine if the Twin towers come tumbling down it will hit Kg Baru thats how close it is to the PTT.I wonder what they found with recent/ banci are there more malays or indonesian there now?Perhaps "Kg Baru should be renamed "Mini Jakarta" soon:)

One day sometime in the future a kid will ask his parents why is this place called Kg Baru when its more like a ghetto caught in a time warp:ohno:

or if they don't want any shit of development, at least make the kg baru as the ultra modern kampung. i mean...look at kg baru now..dirty and kinda slum within the city. the rusted roofs seen from the above make it even uglier. development doesn't mean to build huge skyscrapers, just enough to maintain the image of clean and modern kampung within a modern alpha city.

I totally agree with u on that!Sometime in the future whether they like it or not it will be something like Kampung Glam Singapore on bigger scale right smack in the golden triangle.Perhaps in the future the city residents need to be reminded what a "kampung "once looked like:lol:

One day sometime in the future a kid will ask his parents why is this place called Kg Baru when its more like a ghetto caught in a time warp:ohno:

development doesnt meant ugly,look at klcc development,i rather to see development on kg baru...it look slum and dirty and bad image of kl

Fair enough until the land owners can decide what they want to do.Surely Kg Baru cannot just be as it is for long!So much can be done to improve it and turn it around to be another tourist attraction by introducing the malay heritage at its best.I believe when these land owners see the $$$$ the will do something about it not just depend on the govn to bail them out!Redevelopment doesnt have to be MEGA skyscrapers thats for sure!

you should join a heritagecity...not skyscrapercity..lol

[QUOTE=Redevelopment doesnt have to be MEGA skyscrapers thats for sure![/QUOTE]

redevelopment the city center means planning it to be good,centralize and tall...

why not develop kg baru under PRIMA scheme rather than develop shopping mall, expensive condos n etc...i think this is good idea..many people especially bumiputras cant afford a house at klang valley

prima house?in sentul,titiwangsa,brickfield,wangsamaju,ok,kalau kg baru ni bg aku sesuai untuk expansion kl cbd ja,maksud aku project2 berprofile tinggi yg dpt menguntungkan negara,dgn nilai tanah yg tinggi di kg baru,xkan just nak bgunkan rumah rakyat..rugi lah,

In Malaysia, without the government's hand in it, and rejecting private non-bumi's development, how would you expect the residents there to develop and make the kampung modern? Would you like to offer development for them then? :lol:

There are only 2 choices: UMNO and non-bumi. Which one should they pick :lol:


We need a new government that is cleaner than what we have now: one that can be trusted and is able to plan the development of KB for the sake of the residents: building cheaper high-rise housing for the existing residents and offer better public amenities, and yet also let the private sector participate in this government-private development. By private, I don't mean appointed GLCs or cronies with links to the government, but companies that can bid and offer the best designs/development. Open tender is tantamount to good development. Public-private consultation is needed so that kampung baru residents have a say in the development of their neighbourhood....and then mini-referendums can be held so that the majority can decide the course of the future of KB. This may take a longer time but at the end, there won't be controversies and so much unhappiness, and that most important of all, development can still happen.

Dari meja Presiden : Pemaksaan Jajahan Tanah Kampung Baru

Posted on Oktober 18, 2011 by wanazizah

Kampung Baru adalah sebuah penempatan yang tujuan penubuhannya lebih 111 tahun lalu untuk mengimbangi pola antara kaum. Orang Melayu yang selalu dikaitkan dengan kehidupan luar bandar, tidak boleh dibiarkan ketinggalan di dalam pembangunan bandar, lebih-lebih lagi di Kuala Lumpur.

Dalam sesi Parlimen Disember tahun lalu, satu Rang Undang-undang yang dikenali sebagai “Perbadanan Pembangunan Kampung Baru” dibentangkan pertama kali di Parlimen; susulan rancangan pembangunan dan pemodenan Kuala Lumpur di bawah Rancangan Malaysia ke-9.

Dengan keluasan sekitar 250 ekar atau gabungan tujuh kampung di dalamnya, nilai tanah Kampung Baru kini dianggar melebihi RM5 bilion. Ia lebih mahal waima berbanding dengan KLCC sekalipun.

Lubuk emas itu membuatkan segelintir orang tergiur. Tak terbayangkan bagaimana tergamaknya penguasa yang ada hari ini membentangkan akta yang dilihat akan hanya merugikan dan tak menjamin hak penduduk Kampung Baru dalam tempoh masa panjang.

Bila diteliti, pada awalnya antara yang tidak dibantah penduduk ialah cadangan mewujudkan sebuah perbadanan dengan menterinya mempunyai kuasa muthlak sehingga tidak boleh dicabar di mahkamah. Bukankah fasal ini menunjukkan satu bentuk “penjajahan” sepertimana strategi Inggeris di dalam Perjanjian Pangkor, 1874 dahulu? Lalu, tak ada ertinya untuk mewujudkan sebuah majlis penasihat di kalangan penduduk kalau mereka tidak punya apa-apa kuasa.

Pada permulaan sesi Parlimen, Isnin 3 Oktober lalu, kerajaan menarik balik rang undang-undang berkenaan untuk bacaan kali kedua, tetapi membentangkannya semula dua hari kemudian iaitu pada 5 Oktober sebelum dipaksa lulus pada sebelah malam hari yang sama. Dengan tempoh singkat dan sekelip mata, tidak ada apa yang dapat dilakukan untuk dibahaskan secara terperinci.

Meski pun ada pindaan mengenai batas kuasa perbadanan yang dicadang kerajaan, namun akta yang dipinda itu juga tak menjamin hak milik tanah penduduk dan waris mereka; terutama kepada mereka yang tak bersetuju untuk menyerahkan tanah kepada sesiapa pun, termasuk kepada pihak kerajaan. Hak pemilikan tanah adalah perkara pokok yang tidak tuntas diselesaikan ketika rang undang-undang tersebut kini dalam bacaan kali kedua di Dewan Negara.

Ikhtiar yang dimiliki Pakatan Rakyat kini ialah memohon perkenan kepada bawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Yang DiPertuan Agong dan paduka Sultan Selangor agar menolak rang undang-undang tersebut demi hak dan nasib penduduk yang di bawah naungan ke bawah duli Tuanku.

Sebagai ingatan, soal tanah rezab Melayu seperti Kampung Baru adalah antara “hak istimewa orang Melayu” yang termaktub di dalam Perlembagaan. Sepertimana di negeri-negeri, pertukaran tanah rezab tersebut hanya boleh dilakukan dengan majoriti dua-pertiga anggota dewan. Lebih penting, ia harus mendapat persetujuan lebih awal daripada penduduk atau tuan punya tanah itu sendiri.

Semua proses ini tidak dilakukan secara telus dalam kes Kampung Baru. Referendum atau pungutan suara yang dilaksanakan juga tidak membayangkan pandangan majoriti penduduk tetapi Putrajaya tetap mahu memaksakan pelan pembangunan mereka dengan menggunakan saluran parlimen.

Ketika hayatnya sebagai anggota Parlimen Titiwangsa, allahyarham Dr Lo’Lo’ Gazali telah memain peranan penting bagi menubuhkan Sekretariat Kampung Baru. Tujuannya ialah untuk mendengar dan mengambil pandangan terus daripada penduduk sendiri.

Kita insafi bahawa penduduk Kampung Baru tidak mahu kehilangan hak apatah lagi tanah mereka sehingga keputusan menteri kelak tak boleh dicabar sama sekali. Anak-anak Kampung Baru juga ramai yang berjaya dan bergelar profesional dan tak ada sebab untuk golongan ini disisihkan dalam usaha memajukan kampung halaman mereka sendiri.

Tekad Pakatan Rakyat tidak lain adalah untuk membatalkan rang undang-undang tersebut sekiranya kita menang dan sampai ke Putrajaya dalam pilihanraya umum kelak, Inshaallah. Hanya itu cara yang ada untuk menyelamatkan Kampung Baru dan tanah-tanah rezab Melayu yang tersisa.

Dr Wan Azizah Ismail

turn this Kg Baru into our very own theme and expo park.

There u go!The politicians can go jump in the lake as far as i am concern!Good for nothing nuisance with their own agendas !What have they done after all these years!There would not be even a Kg Baru if not for the British in the first place!

Work on redevelopment of Kg Baru starts

INITIAL development work is already in progress despite the government not receiving a complete referendum on the Kampung Baru Development project.

Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin, who chaired meeting with the village heads, ministry officials and representatives from government-linked companies and non-governmental organisations, said work had started because the government was able to acquire the 30,000sq ft of land required to start the project.

He said the Malay Agricultural Society (MAS) and the NGOs would negotiate for the government and the land owners of Kampung Baru and were confident of a win-win situation for all parties concerned.

Kampung Pindah in Kampung Baru, is the only village that has been acquired fully along with parcels from other villages for the initial development work.

The other affected villages — Kampung Periuk, Kampung Paya, Kampung Atas A, Kampung Atas B, Kampung Masjid and Kampung Hujung Pasir are still in negotiations with the government following the withdrawal of an earlier bill tabled last year.

The Bill was withdrawn in parliament on Oct 5 and in its place a new one was tabled.

“It will be endorsed by the new Yang di-Pertuan Agong in December after allowing amendments to be made following feedback from discussions with stakeholders, land owners, beneficiaries and non-governmental organisations,’’ said Raja Nong Chik.

He said while waiting for the new process to take place, the Federal government would appoint an “interim team” next month which would act as a corporation that would help facilitate the future development of the seven villages consisting of 80ha with an initial grant of RM15mil.

“The corporation will act as an independent body and will be solely responsible in disseminating details of the redevelopment project to the land owners,’’ he added.

Nong Chik said since the beginning of the year, a total of RM8.8mil had been spent on improving the infrastructure in Kampung Baru.

Actually the real owners of Kg.Baru are their ancestors who settled there 100+ years who go through hardship. But now these youngs all want to be overnight millionaire. In early negotiation they wanted KLCC land maxed premium price already give you the clue. Yes, it is KLCC circle, but without premium development it is only worth the price of the slum. Moreover many of the malays there already moved out long time, probably more Indons there than the real native.

the real owners moved out and build low-cost mini flats to rent out to indons... they live in gentrified bangsar/damansara and bt. jelutong.

few stay, most make restaurants but there's a lot more nasi padang shop opening up... a notice more businesses (clothing/garage) is own by malays but run by indons...

not to say they not good at doing business or be-little them (i like eating there because the food is good), but kg. baru is really becoming indonized... it's like little jakarta in the making..

yeah..it become slum area.the food was good,tp tempat...realy dirty...knapa org melayu slalu meniaga mcm tu?untung nak bergunung2,tp nak mainain tempat xreti,nak hias premis pon xreti...peniaga xkisah pon kalau ade tikus2 besar n longkang2 tersumbat akibat sisa makanan..urghh..please government majukan minda usshawan melayu supaya setaraf luar negaRA..

haha....pergi kat nasi lemak sungguh x antarabangsa....tikus besar kucing lol

haha....pergi kat nasi lemak sungguh x antarabangsa....tikus besar kucing lol

haha....pergi kat nasi lemak sungguh x antarabangsa....tikus besar kucing lol

Itu yg bikin sedap:lol:Come to think of it its really no big deal nasi lemak very expensive,I remember sometime ago they were very ambitious to expand but i think it failed miserably.

:)There u go!Thats not far from the sad truth of the situation on the ground!I suspect a good number of lots have their land title with the banks too.

Dont think PR or BN can overcome this Kg Baru solution. We are still stucked with Malay stigma and sentiment ran high. I think the people of Kg Baru themselves don't really know what they want. They want the money, but to retain their houses and lands. Yet, they are complaining about hardships in living in the city. Just take the money and go to Semenyih, Mantin, Ulu Langat, buy big farm lands there and live as kampung as you want.

This is Malay problem, we are too protected we can't even stand on our own.

They complain about other races getting rich but here's a point for all of us to ponder:

1) Mamak restaurants open 24/7 and serve us faithfully for the past 15 years. There are many complaints but we still frequent the mamaks. It become synonymous with Malaysian. We can go there just anytime and get tummy filled.

2) Siam restaurants are everywhere. They opened from 5pm to 1am. They can still make money.

3) Malay restaurant/Gerais open for lunch hour only, after that tutup, balik rumah tengok Akademi Fantasia/Maharaja Lawak.

even though according to my tastebuds, Malay delicacies taste the best. But it has become a standard for all Malay restaurateur to just open for business during lunch hour. I'm talking about the usual gerais. The problem stem from Malay itself, doesnt want to work for more but always wants more money.

Imagine they open for 24/7. Of course no one wants to go to Mamak anymore.

Now we are being flooded with Nasi Padang/Minangkabau or whatnots. So in 10 years time when people forget about Malay delicacies during lunch hour, are they going to blame Mamak, Siam, Indon for the extinct?

Dont think PR or BN can overcome this Kg Baru solution. We are still stucked with Malay stigma and sentiment ran high. I think the people of Kg Baru themselves don't really know what they want. They want the money, but to retain their houses and lands. Yet, they are complaining about hardships in living in the city.
