Delayed Residensi Kecapi project completed after decade
KUALA LUMPUR: The long-delayed Residensi Kecapi redevelopment project in Sentul, stalled for nearly a decade due to various challenges, has now been fully completed and will benefit its original residents who have long awaited a fair resolution.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa said 136 original owners and eligible heirs can finally breathe a collective sigh of relief as they will receive their residential units at RM42,000 each - far below the current market price of RM200,000 per unit.
'This is proof that the government always prioritises the people's interests, especially the low-income group. More importantly, it reflects our commitment to transparency and justice.
'A special audit team involving the Federal Territories Department (JWP), Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), and the developer conducted on-site verifications to validate the status of original owners and rightful heirs,' she said in a Facebook post today, after officiating the completion of the project this morning.
Also at this morning's event, she launched the Bintang Cemerlang 2.0 Programme, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative by YTL and UCSI University, aimed at helping pandemic-affected students - particularly in recovering basic literacy and numeracy skills - across 23 primary schools near the People's Housing Project (PPR) in Sentul.
Dr Zaliha said the effort aligns with the Ilmu @ PUJI initiative in the Federal Territories, which ensures no community is left behind in accessing quality education, and welcomed greater industry participation to contribute towards high-impact social programmes for a more inclusive society.
'Developing this city is not solely the government's duty but a shared responsibility among all stakeholders. We are not building this city for people to live in, but fostering unity and appreciation for every layer of society.
'We plan the future not for a select few but for all in need. This is the true MADANI spirit we champion,' she added.

Potential EV price war
PETALING JAYA: Amid global overcapacity, a 'full-blown' price war could be unleashed in the local electric vehicle (EV) space, warns an analyst. In Malaysia, locally assembled EVs – or also known as completely knocked down (CKD) vehicles – enjoy tax breaks until end-2027. These include exemptions from import, excise, and sales taxes to promote local assembly. Imported EVs – or completely built-up (CBU) units – have also been tax-free, but only until Dec 31, 2025. After that, they are set to face full duties again, making them more expensive – although calls to extend the exemptions have grown louder to drive EV adoption. Additionally, to protect local players, the government had set a minimum price of RM100,000 for imported EVs, also until end-2025. And with Geely Holding Group chairman Li Shufu warning of 'serious overcapacity' in the global automotive industry, Malaysia could feel the ripple effects, especially as EV makers, particularly those in China, offload excess production to new markets. On these fronts, BIMB Securities analyst Sabariah Akhair said the expiry of the RM100,000 price floor presents a 'strategic fork in the road', with two distinct outcomes depending on future government decisions. 'If policymakers remove the RM100,000 franchise approved permit policy price floor and extend CBU EV tax exemptions beyond 2025, we expect a full-blown EV price war,' she said. She said this scenario could pave the way for a surge of cheap Chinese EVs like the BYD Seagull and Wuling Mini EV priced as low as RM18,000 to RM45,000. Sabariah cautioned that traditional players, especially those without local assembly (CKD) scale or cost control, may delay investments or cut output. 'While consumers would benefit in the short term, the local EV industry risks being hollowed out, impacting jobs, localisation and long-term industrial growth,' she said. On the other hand, Sabariah said if the government allows the CBU tax exemptions to expire as scheduled while removing the RM100,000 price floor, the outcome could be more 'orderly'. 'We expect a more orderly and sustainable EV market. 'Prices of imported EVs would gradually return to previous levels, avoiding a destructive price war and supporting Malaysia's localisation goals.' Overall, she believes EV adoption may grow at a steadier pace of between 3.5% and 4% of total vehicle sales – or total industry volume (TIV) – in 2025, but this approach supports long-term industry development. 'Still, success depends on clear policies, robust charging infrastructure and affordable financing to support broader adoption.' To note, the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) reported that EVs accounted for 2.9% of TIV in the first quarter of 2025, up from 1.8% in 2024. An industry observer closely tied to EV distribution said the end of the import duty and excise tax exemptions on imported EVs at year-end will push prices up next year, making new imports less viable and potentially leading to a drop in EV sales volume. 'But with the removal of the RM100,000 floor price, more new models will find their way to Malaysia,' he added. He believes that internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles remain relevant, and this is where traditional players will continue to hold ground. 'EV adoption may take time due to limited charging infrastructure and range anxiety among consumers. Range-extended EVs (REVs), which help overcome range anxiety, may be more relevant in the near term. However, no tax incentives are currently offered for REVs, even though they are selling very well in China right now,' he said. 'Time will tell whether ICE cars from China will overtake traditional players. In terms of driving performance, they are still lacking.' Meanwhile, BIMB's Sabariah said incumbent distributors – or the traditional players – such as Bermaz Auto Bhd (BAuto) and Sime Darby Bhd are 'fundamentally equipped to sustain their market presence despite escalating competition from Chinese EV entrants'. 'Both companies have demonstrated strategic foresight by expanding their EV portfolios, thereby aligning with shifting consumer preferences and regulatory tailwinds supporting EV adoption,' she noted. However, she expects some near-term market share erosion, particularly in the B and C-segment passenger space where Chinese brands are most aggressive. 'While the landscape is undoubtedly becoming more fragmented, we believe both Sime and BAuto have laid solid groundwork for long-term resilience.' On local marques, Sabariah said both Proton and Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) remain structurally well-positioned to defend their market share amid growing competition from Chinese EV brands. Proton, in particular, she said has made a notable entrance into the EV space with the launch of the 7, which has quickly gained traction – topping EV registrations in early 2025. 'Backed by its strategic alliance with Geely and the ongoing development of the Automotive High-Tech Valley (AHTV) in Tanjung Malim, Proton is laying the groundwork for a vertically integrated EV ecosystem,' she noted. 'We see long-term upside in localised production, which could significantly lower production costs and provide pricing flexibility to compete against value-driven CBU imports from China.' Perodua, on the other hand, is expected to unveil its first EV – targeted below the RM100,000 price point – by end-2025, 'directly addressing the mass-market segment'. 'Unlike other rebadged models, Perodua's EV is reportedly developed from the ground up, reinforcing consumer trust in its engineering and brand identity. Moreover, the anticipated adoption of a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model – where batteries are leased rather than owned – may ease affordability concerns and further differentiate Perodua from lower-trust Chinese offerings,' she added. 'In our view, both national carmakers benefit from strong brand equity, entrenched dealership networks, and long-standing government policy support. While we acknowledge the near-term pricing pressure from an influx of CBU EVs, the local players' focus on CKD localisation, cost optimisation, and mass-market appeal should enable them to weather the storm and maintain relevance in a more competitive landscape.' Meanwhile, the industry observer noted that tax exemptions for imported EVs will eventually require China EV manufacturers to start their CKD projects. 'From 2026 onwards, Chinese EV makers will need to set up CKD projects in Malaysia to maintain tax incentives. But due to volume constraints, this may not be viable for many of them,' he said. 'I understand that Perodua is developing its EV below RM100,000, so it may not be affected by the influx of Chinese EVs. If Proton can do the same through its partnership with Geely, it will be in a stronger position compared to those Chinese carmakers without CKD operations in Malaysia,' the observer added.

Renewed push for plastic-free sips
JUST before the Covid-19 pandemic, there was an effort to ban single-use plastic straws in the Klang Valley and other parts of the country, including Penang. Theng says the initial ban was not well thought out. Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) imposed an outright ban in 2020. Licensed operators who continue to use plastic straws risk being fined or having their licences revoked. However, all the hype died out soon after the pandemic, said environment and waste management specialist Dr Theng Lee Chong. 'It was not a well-thought-out plan,' he said, pointing out that plastic straws were now available even at cafeterias of most government buildings. Old habits and cost Indian Muslim Community Organisation Malaysia president Mohamed Rizwan Abdul Ghafoor Khan said customers still want plastic straws when ordering cold drinks. 'We tried to educate dine-in customers and even those who ordered their drinks to go with plastic straws,' he said. Some eateries still offer paper straws to customers. Mohamed Rizwan says customers still want plastic straws with their cold drinks. At the same time, he said, paper straws were not of good quality and were not preferred by customers. He said suppliers had insisted on only catering to large paper straw orders, which became a problem for smaller eateries. 'Manufacturers want us to order, like 10,000 sticks of paper straws. They treat us like fast food chains and want us to order in bulk. 'We have asked manufacturers to research and develop stronger paper straws but they want us to order 30,000 sticks at a time. 'This would be expensive and pose storage issues,' he said. Abdul Mukthahir suggests that customers pay for plastic straws. Persatuan Pengusaha Restoran Muslim Malaysia (Presma) vice- president Abdul Mukthahir Ibrahim also cited the lack of paper straw supplies in the market, adding those available were expensive. He suggested authorities impose charges for eatery customers asking for plastic straws. 'Just like how people now have to pay for plastic bags, a charge of 10 sen can be imposed if consumers want their plastic straws,' he said. However, he acknowledged the move would be unpopular at first. 'Customers are always reluctant to change and will resist in the initial stages, just like during the early days of the smoking ban at restaurants,' he said. Safety in doubt Theng questioned the quality and safety standards of the paper straws available in the market. 'Who is responsible for inspecting the quality of paper used, the dye on the straws, the bleaching process, and even the glue used to make them? 'Some of these straws are very cheap and can be sourced from other countries, but who is monitoring this?' asked Theng. He said the Housing and Local Government Ministry, the Department of Environment and Malaysian Science, Technology Information Centre should work together to tackle the issue. Metal straws are alternatives that customers can bring along when dining out. — Filepic and courtesy of Sahabat Alam Malaysia 'There should be a new framework to ensure that whatever product is in the market undergoes safety test, including paper straws,' he said. 'When no authorities control these items, profit becomes the sole aim of traders, and they disregard safety standards.' Regulation and disposal Theng said in countries such as Japan, the producer would pay authorities for the end-of-life handling of the product they create. 'For example, there must be a plan for all the straws that are discarded after a single use, and the cost should be paid to the authorities by the manufacturer as part of a waste management fee,' he said. Weng says studies have found microplastics in human lungs, livers, and brains. Greenpeace Malaysia zero-waste campaigner Dunxin Weng said the real crisis went far beyond straws to include all disposable plastic packaging used in daily life. The issue of microplastics was particularly concerning, she said. 'When plastic items degrade, they create microplastics. Studies have found microplastics in human lungs, livers, and brains, with emerging research suggesting potential impacts on hormone function, reproductive health, and the immune system. 'The toxic chemicals used to make plastics pose threats such as developmental issues, cancer risks, and endocrine disruption. 'Globally, less than 9% of all plastic waste has ever been recycled, despite decades of recycling awareness and efforts. Most plastic ends up in landfills, incinerators, or the environment. 'Many plastics exported for recycling are actually dumped or burned in countries with less environmental oversight,' she said. Culture and mindset Weng said the public still struggled to overcome the culture of convenience, especially practices such as tapau (takeaway), where food is purchased and taken away in plastic containers. 'This culture is deeply ingrained in many and is second nature,' she said. In addition, there is a widespread perception that using reusables is inconvenient or more expensive, making it even harder to shift everyday habits. Beach clean-up at Pantai Robina, Butterworth, Penang. 'Plastic production is soaring, yet there is no clear commitment or plan to address this. 'Eliminating single-use plastics will require strong, innovative commitment and action from businesses and relevant authorities, with strong implementation and enforcement,' said Weng. Any legislative ban on single- use plastics and straws should be supported by suitable substitutes, she said. 'We must also avoid false solutions like relying on paper or biodegradable items, and instead facilitate a culture of reuse and repair,' she said. 'There is still a need to raise awareness and shift mindsets away from discarding plastic items after single use. 'People should understand how plastics are made and the greenhouse gases released at every stage of the plastic lifecycle.' Students separating straws collected at the beach clean-up in Pantai Bersih, Butterworth. Meanwhile Sahabat Alam Malaysia honorary secretary Mageswari Sangaralingam also suggested that reusable straws be promoted. 'Before Covid-19, many people were using reusable straws, but that trend faded. It should be repopularised,' she said. No push factor Lee says there is no push factor for manufacturers to switch. De Cans Cans Services Sdn Bhd key account manager Caden Lee said the company manufactured high-quality paper straws and supplied them to multinational beverage companies. 'Several large and multinational companies producing beverages have long switched from plastic straws to paper straws for their export products, except here. 'This shift from plastic to paper straws took place about five years ago. 'However, the same companies are not doing the same locally. 'When there is no government demand through legislation, there is no push factor for manufacturers to switch,' said Lee. He added that the cost of switching for multinational companies was not exorbitant. 'I think the cost increase would be just 1% to 2%,' he said. 'Authorities could approach these large organisations to make the shift, and the impact would be significant and visible.' Lee noted that the country's commitment to the National Policy and Action Plan on Marine Litter 2021-2030 and the National Circular Economic Council was another reason to push for a ban on single-use plastic straws. 'Transitioning to paper straws can reduce plastic waste and position Malaysia as a regional leader in environmental sustainability, following the example of countries in Europe, India, Australia, and the Middle East that have adopted similar measures,' he said.
