d) Housing for special needs groups
i. Existing situation
545. At present two homes for the aged have been built through private agencies and CHKL are planning to construct one more as well as two youth hostels, one in Gombak and the other in Chan Sow Lin. There is, however, a pressing need to provide more housing accommodation for special needs groups such as the physically disabled, the aged, single mothers and single men and women.
ii. Issue
• Inadequate provision of housing for special needs groups.
e) Housing for public sector employee
i. Existing situation
546. The cost of private rental housing in Kuala Lumpur is very high in comparison with the rest of the country, and far exceeds housing allowances made available to public sector employees. Consequently many are obliged to rent substandard accommodation or to find alternative accommodation outside the City.
547. To date, about 11,000 housing units has been provided by respective government agencies for their employees who pay subsidised rental. However, there is an insufficient amount of such housing to meet current needs.
ii. Issue
• Lack of affordable accommodation for public sector employees.
548. Much of the housing for public sector employees is low density and the government land on which it is built is under-utilised.
• Under-utilisation of government land used for housing public sector employees.
12.2.3 Distribution of Housing
a) Housing by type
i. Existing situation
549. Table 12.4 and Figure 12.3 indicate the distribution of housing types in the City. Housing is generally evenly distributed throughout the City with the notable exception of Damansara where there is no low cost housing and Bandar Tun Razak which contains a disproportionately high number of low cost housing units.
550. There are also 7,447 low cost housing units in the City Centre most of which are in a dilapidated state and which occupy land in prime areas. This issue is highlighted in paragraph 12.2.1d) above.
ii. Issue
• Uneven distribution of housing by type.
b) Housing in the City Centre
i. Existing situation
551. In parallel with the decline of the City Centre residential population, there has been a commensurate drop in residential land area from 523 hectares in 1980 to 288 hectares in 2000.
552. The decline in residential land use in the City Centre is due to the redevelopment of some of the older housing areas into offices and other commercial uses. In addition to the areas of dilapidated housing in the City Centre, there are many older, low density housing areas occupying land which has high potential commercial value. Pressures will remain on these remaining pockets of residential land to convert to more profitable land use, which, in turn, could lead to a further reduction in the inner city residential population.
ii. Issue
• Decreasing residential land use in the City Centre; and
• Pressure on remaining residential land in the City Centre to convert to commercial usage.
