Bukit Jalil residents – who have been against the 17,000-unit Bandar Madani project in their neighbourhood – must have been disappointed to hear the project being touted by PM Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the recent Budget 2027, and the swift opening of registration for units in the future township.

Well, unfortunately for those concerned, it seems like there’s no stopping Bandar Madani Bukit Jalil. Today, housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming told parliament that the project will be implemented in phases over a 15-year period

However, there’s a consolation for current residents – the government is currently in the process of allocating RM250 million to upgrade roads and alleviate traffic congestion in the area. Nga said that the allocation will be used to upgrade existing roads, construct new four-lane roads, and build two bridges to improve traffic flow. We’ll need to wait for more details on the what and where.
