Kota MADANI shows govt's commitment to address civil servants' housing
She said the project is not designed for the elite nor did it carry the 'skyscraper syndrome' seen under previous administrations, but rather aims to address the imbalance between applications for quarters and the number of available units in Putrajaya.
'The Auditor-General's Report 2021 confirmed that nearly 18,000 civil servants remain on the waiting list for government quarters. Yet, no new quarters have been developed in recent years.
'The reality is, 90 percent of Putrajaya's population consists of civil servants. Therefore, it is only right and necessary for the government to ensure their basic needs are met,' she said in a statement today.
The Kota MADANI project is reported to offer 10,000 units of quarters designated for civil servants and is expected to accommodate up to 30,000 residents by offering an inclusive and sustainable urban development model.
Sivamalar said the number is not merely a statistic but a true commitment to addressing the needs of those who have long served as the backbone of the nation's administration — proving that the MADANI government does not merely make promises, but delivers concrete solutions to longstanding issues that have been neglected.
Previously, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa stated that the Kota MADANI development represents a long-term strategic investment in shaping the future of Putrajaya as a model city that upholds MADANI values, in line with the vision of Bandar Chase.
Dr Zaliha said Kota MADANI will serve as the foundation for a low-carbon city that upholds the principles of sustainability, well-being, and public safety.

PM must stop Akmal's ethnic witch hunt using national flag
COMMENT | Projek Sama calls upon Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to put his foot down to stop the ethnic witch-hunt by Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh, a member of his Madani coalition government. In the latest escalation, Akmal has threatened to hold a protest against a shop owner in Penang, Feng Jin Zhen, if the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC) does not press charges against him over the upside-down display of the Jalur Gemilang. Projek Sama demands an end to the investigation and harassment of Feng, who was released on police bail on his unintended mistake, which, according to him, was made when measuring the pole. Projek Sama strongly upholds the need to treat and fly the Jalur Gemilang with respect and dignity. While the proper handling of our national flag is important, unintended mistakes must not be blown out of proportion to be politicised and affect ethnic witch-hunt.
