PETALING JAYA : Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has given approval for construction work to resume at the J Satine mixed-use development project in Wangsa Maju here, the stock exchange was informed today.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, construction company TCS Group Holdings Bhd told the bourse that its subsidiary TCS Construction had received approval from DBKL for the recommencement of work on Phases 2 and 3 of the project.
'Construction work on Phase 1 would proceed once the necessary foundation strengthening is fully completed and verified by other parties,' the company said, Bernama reported.
The announcement comes almost six months after the city issued a stop-work order on Nov 7 following complaints from nearby residents about an explosion at the site. An investigation found cracks in the shear walls, columns, and floors of units on the 8th floor and above.
DBKL said the stop-work order would remain in place until the required actions are carried out. 'The cause of the explosion and structural failure will only be determined once the structural integrity report is submitted to DBKL', it said then.
J Satine is a mixed-use development project located in Setapak, consisting of 3,600 units of Residensi Wilayah apartments, 661 units of small or home office and 42 commercial units.
TCS director Tee Chai Seng said DBKL's decision acknowledged the project's safety and stability outlined in the independent report.
TCS will continue to work closely with all stakeholders and comply with the conditions set by DBKL, he said.

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.

Part of Jalan Raja to close temporarily for public space revamp
The trial closure will affect the stretch of road in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, from the Jalan Tun Perak junction to the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman intersection. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will temporarily close part of Jalan Raja from June 9 to 15 as part of a pilot initiative to improve public spaces in the city centre. DBKL said the closure is part of its broader effort to create a more liveable, pedestrian-friendly, and well-organised city centre. Officials say the move will create a safer, more accessible space for pedestrians, particularly families, children, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities (OKU). The trial closure will affect the stretch of road in front of the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, from the Jalan Tun Perak junction to the Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman intersection, DBKL said in a statement. During this period, inbound vehicles on Jalan Raja will still be allowed to turn right into Jalan Tun Perak, but vehicles from Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Tun Perak will not be allowed to enter Jalan Raja. To assist road users, DBKL will deploy directional signage and enforcement personnel throughout the trial. Public transport routes will also be affected, with temporary changes to GO-KL, RapidKL, and the Hop On-Hop Off bus services. Commuters are advised to check with the respective public transport operators for the latest updates on affected routes and stops. In the statement, DBKL also envisioned the historic Dataran Merdeka area being revitalised as a dynamic hub for arts, culture, and social activities, while providing new opportunities for local traders, creative entrepreneurs, and the tourism sector. 'By reducing traffic congestion and enhancing human interaction in the heart of the city, Kuala Lumpur can move toward becoming a more inclusive and balanced metropolis with a strong identity,' DBKL said. To gather public feedback on the initiative, DBKL has launched an online public survey which is accessible via this link – Responses will be reviewed and considered in shaping the direction of any long-term implementation.

Rezoning row raises questions on stewardship
THE more than two-decades saga of Vivekananda Ashram in Brickfields offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the principle of stewardship. Its key application in governance is that stewards are entrusted to discharge responsibilities in an accountable and transparent manner. Officials exercise power on behalf of an entity; they are custodians of its resources and not owners. This trust must extend to all stakeholders – not just shareholders or members – but also to the broader community with a legitimate interest. According to a report in StarMetro on May 26, 2025, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) said the landowners of the 120-year-old Vivekananda Ashram had requested its site be zoned as 'main commercial'. With the Kuala Lumpur Local Plan 2040 (KLLP 2040) now gazetted and due to come into force on June 11, the key players involved in the ashram's rezoning must reflect on the cardinal principle of stewardship. The Vivekananda Ashrama Kuala Lumpur was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee in 1934. Its core mission is described as 'involved in educational, spiritual, cultural and welfare activities'. There had been public appeals to rezone the site for educational and welfare use – appeals entirely in line with the organisation's stated purpose. The board of trustees' 2014 plan to build a 23-storey tower over the heritage site triggered public backlash and led to the building's heritage gazettement in 2016. The fact that this gazettement was challenged by the trustees and that they have now accepted 'main commercial' zoning speaks volumes. Even so, the ashram remains a cherished institution with deep intergenerational significance to the wider community. The 876 objections submitted from across the country and abroad, as well as the high participation in the public hearing, reflect this. DBKL's decision to rezone the 0.4ha heritage site is surprising. The agency had access to detailed presentations during the public hearing and subsequent submissions from the Save Vivekananda Ashram Brickfields community. Yet, it appears to have treated the board as just another landowner, without weighing the broader implications of its stewardship responsibilities. Was the entire community engagement process merely a performative exercise? It would be a welcome surprise if DBKL reconsidered its decision and rezoned the site as 'public facilities' before June 11. Is that too much to ask of those who govern a 'City for All'? The community must continue playing its stewardship role. Section 17 of the Federal Territory (Planning) Act 1982 [Act 267] provides a mechanism to alter the gazetted KLLP 2040. This avenue remains open for the board to submit an application to rezone the site as 'Public Facilities'. Meanwhile, the community must remain vigilant. Any proposed commercial development should be monitored to ensure full compliance with National Heritage Department guidelines and that all necessary approvals are obtained. At a minimum, the trustees should share their plans and adopt a more inclusive stewardship model. No matter how dwarfed the ashram may become by future soulless structures, its legacy as a monument to the contributions of Malaysia's pioneer generation will endure. Jayanath Appudurai Kuala Lumpur
