Locals Protest High-Density Bandar Madani Project in Bukit Jalil
What happened
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim promoted the Bandar Madani Bukit Jalil project, an integrated 17,000-unit development, during the Budget 2027 speech. However, a group of locals in Bukit Jalil protested the project outside Parliament. Protesters argue the high-density development will place additional pressure on an area already grappling with traffic congestion and inadequate public facilities.

Why it matters
The project is envisioned as a major housing township with community amenities in Kuala Lumpur. The protests challenge the planned urban expansion and infrastructure development in Bukit Jalil, potentially impacting national planning and housing supply.
