Site and services scheme
New approaches to housing provisions and methods to reduce the
financial costs borne by the public sector were sought. One such policy
discussion, held in Malaysia in the early 1970s, resulted in a request to the World
Bank for assistance to provide shelter and services for the urban poor who were
displaced from squatter areas in Kuala Lumpur.
A site and services programme was proposed as the 'solution' to resettle
these squatters. The project comprised three major components:
New sites and services;
Squatter area upgrading; and
Sites and services units.
Unfortunately, earlier lessons from similar programmes in rural areas in
the 1950s and 1960s were ignored by both local planners and foreign consultants
was only partly successful because the concept of core housing was alien to local
authorities and only a few states implemented it.
For example, a number of problems emerged in implementing the sites
and services programme in Kuala Lumpur such as :
It took a full four years to construct these houses - there were no
consultations between the Urban Development Authority, Kuala Lumpur
City Hall and other participating agencies in matters such as land
acquisition, planning standards and financial assistance to squatters
UDA could not meet the new requirement of selling the houses to Malay
squatters many land plots reserved for Malay squatters were left vacant.
The Ministry of Housing and Local Government had, since the 4th
Malaysia Plan to supervised and monitored the implementation of the Site and
9
Services Scheme and aimed at providing housing for households with incomes of
less than RM500 per month.
In order to ensure the private sector to construct low cost housing,
government through the local authority also imposes 30% quota provision of low
cost housing in every residential development. In ensuring that these houses are
secured by targeted group, the government also imposed an open registration
system (refer to Table 2.0). There are no specific quotas or registered purchaser
required for other housing categories.
