Dr Wee asks why consent threshold rates differ under proposed urban renewal law
PETALING JAYA: The government should explain its rationale for setting different consent threshold rates based on the age of properties under the proposed urban renewal law, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong. The MCA president expressed concern over the sudden change by the Housing and Local Government Ministry from the original 100% consent requirement. He questioned how the revised thresholds align with fairness and transparency, especially in developments involving existing strata property owners. "I asked the ministry to clarify the justification for setting different consent thresholds under URA (the proposed Urban Renewal Act), particularly when the original requirement was full consent. "I also sought details on engagement sessions to assess the potential impact of rising population density and traffic, as well as mitigation plans," he wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday (July 24). Dr Wee then shared the parliamentary written response he received from the ministry, which explained that the varied threshold rates were determined in consideration of public interest and to meet the strategic goals set under the urban renewal programme. The ministry also further clarified that the original 100% threshold pertains specifically to the requirement for unanimous consent under Section 57 of the Strata Titles Act 1985, which governs the termination of strata titles in stratified buildings or land. Dr Wee's questions come amid growing public interest in how the law would be implemented once passed and its possible long-term implications on urban communities across Malaysia.
