Description
Since early 2023, the Ministry of Housing and Local Government under its Minister, YB Nga Kor Ming, has emphasised on the urgent need to implement Urban Renewal (“UR”) in the country. This is evident in the numerous news articles and pronouncements by the Ministry’s senior officials on UR on a regular basis.
UR is necessary to preserve, rehabilitate, rejuvenate and / or redevelop old, run-down residential / commercial / integrated estates and urban slums, particularly in the Klang Valley and its hinterland. The authorities have identified over 300 sites which have the potential to undergo UR.
This seminar intends to shed insight on the following topics:
(1) the various laws having impact on the implementation of UR;
(2) the modes by which UR can be carried out; and
(3) the termination of strata schemes and its relationship with en-bloc sales.
