00:00Bandar Malaysia should exemplify the qualities of a future-ready township by integrating

00:07green and smart city components.

00:10This is what urban planning expert Goh Hong Ching said after KLCC Sundaran Berhad announced

00:16that it acquired 486 acres of land for the Bandar Malaysia project last month.

00:24Goh said Bandar Malaysia must prioritise accessibility, efficiency, affordability and future-proof

00:31architecture to enhance the quality of life of its communities.

00:36She also said the city should include community spaces for social interaction, also known

00:42as third places.

00:44Meanwhile, economist Jeffrey Williams said the township has the potential to serve as

00:50a source of non-tax revenue for the government.

00:55He said the proposed project aligns with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's call for government-linked

01:00entities to boost domestic investment, as it will be funded by a Petronas subsidiary.

01:08Williams said, conservatively, the investment in Bandar Malaysia could more than double

01:13in 10 years and grow tenfold over three decades.
