J. Satine Project To Resume for Soho Units And Two Blocks
GENERAL
KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 (Bernama) – The J. Satine development project, previously halted due to structural cracks in Block C, has been approved to resume for the SOHO units, as well as Blocks A and B.
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) in a statement said the decision followed the Independent Check Consultant Progress Report dated February 24, prepared by a Certified Professional Engineer.
However, Blocks C and D must first undergo structural repairs and foundation reinforcement before construction on those buildings can continue.
'This recommendation has been supported by the independent engineer and certified for building safety and stability by the structural design engineers involved in the J. Satine development,' the statement said.
DBKL has also required the project's consulting engineers to submit a Monthly Progress Report and Repair Completion Report, which must be reviewed and verified by the Independent Consultant, at the end of each month.
In addition, the developer, Jayyid Land Sdn. Bhd., has been instructed to conduct an engagement session with J. Satine unit buyers and relevant agencies including the Office of the Member of Parliament for Wangsa Maju, the Federal Territories Department, and the National Housing Department within two weeks from the issuance date of the Stop Work Order Withdrawal Letter.
'DBKL is committed to ensuring that all actions taken regarding the J. Satine development are guided by the principles of accountability, safety, transparency, and integrity.
'DBKL will also continue to monitor the implementation of repairs and the progress of the project closely and responsibly, in the interest of all stakeholders,' the statement added.
Previously, DBKL issued a stop-work order for a construction site in Wangsa Maju following structural cracks in Block C of the J. Satine project.

Perak PMR 2025 To Offer Over 200 Public Services At Lumut Waterfront On June 13-15
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, June 10 (Bernama) -- The Perak MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) 2025 will be held on a large scale at Lumut Waterfront from June 13 to 15, featuring more than 200 government services for the public. Ministry of Communications, deputy secretary-general (Telecommunications Infrastructure), Mano Verabathran, said the event will involve various federal and state agencies, including the MADANI Sale initiative, which offers essential items at discounts of 10 to 30 per cent. 'Visitors can take advantage of the discounted goods and also participate in walk-in interviews. Ten companies from different sectors will be present, offering around 1,000 job vacancies. We welcome job seekers to attend,' he said during Bernama TV's Apa Khabar Malaysia programme today. Mano added that 36 booths will be set up to provide a wide range of government services, enabling visitors to carry out official matters during the three-day event. 'This initiative is part of the government's continuous effort to bring services and policies closer to the people, while fostering greater public trust in the country's direction,' he said. He also noted that the programme offers the public a unique opportunity to engage directly with multiple government agencies under one roof. This year, PMR is being held in two formats - large-scale and small-scale events. The first large-scale edition was held in Tawau, Sabah, from May 9 to 11, drawing over 192,000 visitors. Perak is the second state to host the large-scale programme, organised through a strategic collaboration between the Performance Acceleration Coordination Unit (PACU) under the Prime Minister's Department and the Ministry of Higher Education as the lead ministry. PMR 2025 in Lumut, themed 'Pendidikan Tinggi, Pemacu Negara MADANI', will run from 9am to 10pm on Friday and Saturday, and until 6pm on Sunday.

Ringgit slightly up against US dollar amid cautious sentiment
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened slightly higher against the US dollar on Tuesday amid caution about the outcome of trade talks between China and the United States. At 8 am, the local note made a small rebound to 4.2275/2370 against the greenback compared to Monday's close of 4.2290/2345. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd's chief economist, Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid, said the US dollar index (DXY) was down 0.25 per cent to 98.939 points as the US and China trade talks proceeded as planned, with positive indications from US officials about the negotiations. He highlighted that data from China showed the country's trade with the United States has been declining significantly, with exports and imports falling 34.5 per cent and 18.1 per cent, respectively, in May. 'The figures represented the second consecutive month of contraction, showing that the tariff shocks have had a significant impact on international trade. Meanwhile, the negative print for China's consumer price index has been ongoing for four consecutive months, with the latest reading standing at minus 0.1 per cent year-on-year in April, indicating a challenging economic outlook given weak demand,' he told Bernama. Mohd Afzanizam noted that the USD/MYR remained in a narrow range between RM4.231 and RM4.2458 yesterday amid cautious sentiment among traders and investors, with a similar trend expected to continue today. In early trade, the ringgit traded higher against a basket of major currencies. It rose against the Japanese yen to 2.9242/9310 from Monday's 2.9344/2.9384, appreciated versus the British pound to 5.7300/7428 from 5.7392/7466 and gained vis-à-vis the euro to 4.8303/8412 from 4.8316/8379. The local currency traded mixed against most of its ASEAN peers. It improved versus the Singapore dollar to 3.2876/2952 from 3.2908/2953 but fell against the Thai baht to 12.9463/9846 from 12.9414/9642 on Monday. It traded almost flat vis-à-vis the Indonesian rupiah at 259.4/260.1 from 259.5/260.0 and was unchanged against the Philippine peso at 7.57/7.59.
