The Scenario of Affordable Housing Planning
and Development in Kuala Lumpur
In 1996, the „Zero Squatter by 2005‟ policy was implemented in the whole Malaysia.
Further to the economic recession in the late 1997, a four-tier pricing system on PPR
schemes in cities and major town for the resettlement of squatters has been implemented
in order to ensure its citizen, particularly lower income groups, to continue enjoying the
benefits of adequate, affordable and quality housing. However, it is important to ensure
that the provisions of housing are able to create a harmonious society and promoting a
sustainable living environment. (Goh, Ai Tee and Ahmad, Yahaya, n.d)
To enhance the quality of life of the urban population, the provision of more systematic and
well organized urban services programmes will emphasize on sustainable development,
promoting greater community participation and social integration of the population. (Noraliah
Idrus and HO Chin Siong, 2008)
Affordable homes built through the planning system account for less than 12% of total new
housing output but for over 50% of all new affordable homes.
There are many homeless people in Kuala Lumpur, including those who have jobs but do not
earn enough to rent a room or house. They sleep on the streets of popular areas in the city.
