Kuala Lumpur to complete all public housing renovations by year-end

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is on track to complete all renovation and maintenance work for People's Housing Project (PPR) estates across the capital by the end of this year. Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur, Datuk Seri Fadhlun Mak Ujud, reported that 22 projects are already finished.

The ongoing renovations encompass three main areas: building repainting, upgrading fire prevention systems, and repairing roads and drainage. At PPR Desa Tun Razak alone, RM7 million was allocated for painting, RM1.68 million for fire safety and electrical system enhancements, and nearly RM1 million for road and drainage improvements.

Fadhlun acknowledged that parking remains a significant concern for residents at PPR Desa Tun Razak. While paid parking facilities exist, the city is exploring options for temporary parking areas on suitable vacant land as an interim solution. The remaining upgrade works are being carried out in phases and are expected to be fully completed before the year concludes.
