In view of the city’s growing population, Kuala Lumpur residents should expect to see more skyscrapers for homes in the future rather than terraced homes and bungalows.
“Let us be logical here, the city is growing and land is getting more and more scarce,” said Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor at the Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur Strata Community Convention 2017 at Institut Latihan DBKL.
“We cannot live in landed properties such as bungalows or terraced houses anymore and we have to adapt to living in high-rise buildings to ensure the city can cope with the increasing number of residents.”
He noted that the convention aims to educate the public, particularly the members of Joint Management Bodies and Management Committees, on laws and regulations relating to strata titles, especially the Strata Management (Maintenance and Management) Regulations 2015 or Act 757.
The event also saw the launch of the Building Management and Information System (BMIS) app.
The BMIS serves as a platform for strata title owners to lodge their complaints related to their properties and access the structural plan of the building in 3D.
Aside from this, the app also connects the strata title owners with the building commissioners of the Kuala Lumpur City Hall.
