KUALA LUMPUR: The government’s takeover of the Bandar Malaysia development, aimed at ensuring optimal utilisation of strategic lands for people-oriented projects as outlined in the Budget 2024, will result in various benefits for the people, says an academician.

Senior lecturer at the Centre of Real Estate Studies, College of Built Environment, Universiti Teknologi Mara Assoc Prof Dr Mona Isa said the move indicates that the government is not only focused on commercial values but also proves its concern for the needs and well-being of the people.
