Kuala Lumpur City Plan 2020 - Was the Wrong Plan Gazetted?

There was a lot of dismay, to put it mildly, that the Kuala Lumpur City Plan (KLCP) 2020 was gazetted last year on Oct 30th, without first getting the feedback of various stakeholders. The gazetted plan was neither the 2008 draft local plan nor the 2013 revised plan, but the gazetted local plan was a “2015” version. What does all of this mean? Joining us to explain all are Datuk P. Gunasilan, a veteran town planner and a Fellow with the Malaysian Institute of Planners, and Derek Fernandez, a City Councillor of Petaling Jaya and a lawyer whose expertise is in planning and development.
