KL Structure Plan 2040 aims for 40% Malay, Bumiputera population
Among the proposed strategies are affordable Malay housing, shops, and light industries on Malay Reserve Land and Malay Agricultural Settlement (MAS) land. 'The proposal is at an early study stage and will be submitted to the Cabinet for consideration,' she said.
Dr Zaliha was responding to a question from Zulkifli Ismail (PN-Jasin) regarding long-term plans to preserve Malay identity and ownership in Kuala Lumpur amid private sector development. Since 2023, the Bumiputera quota has been set at a minimum of 40 per cent for private projects and 70 per cent for government or joint ventures, applicable to all planning approvals.
She emphasised that Malay Reserve land ownership must remain fully Malay without compromise. - Bernama

Jailed rapist refuses to quit Australian state parliament
Gareth Ward has refused to stand down from the state parliament despite sitting in prison. (AAP Image/Reuters pic) SYDNEY : An Australian politician has refused to stand down despite being jailed for rape, sparking an urgent court battle to expel the sex offender from a state parliament. New South Wales state politician Gareth Ward was last month found guilty of sexually abusing two young men, aged 18 and 24, between 2013 and 2015. The 44-year-old right-leaning politician has refused to stand down from state parliament, despite sitting in prison while awaiting sentencing for his crimes. State premier Chris Minns said Ward had 'no shame', pledging to move a motion that would expel him from parliament. But Ward has so far stymied these efforts, obtaining a temporary injunction late yesterday that prevented the Labor government from removing him. Leader of the house Ron Hoenig said the government would seek an urgent hearing this week to have the injunction lifted. 'The issue is, as you would appreciate, of considerable significance,' Hoenig told reporters today. 'The house needs to be able to make its judgement to protect itself. And we will be seeking a review of the judge's decision.' Ward said he planned to appeal his convictions, and should remain in parliament until this appeal is heard.

Dewan Rakyat lacks clear mechanism for no-confidence vote, says Beluran MP
KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee is calling for a new provision in Parliament's Standing Orders to enable a vote of no confidence against a prime minister to be properly tabled and debated. Raising the matter in the Dewan Rakyat, the Beluran MP argued that existing Standing Orders, namely Orders 15 and 27, make it virtually impossible for such motions to see the light of day unless the government allows it. According to Standing Order 27, any motion must first obtain approval to be listed, while Standing Order 15 gives priority to government business. "Unlike the United Kingdom, New Zealand and even India's Lok Sabha, our Parliament does not have a dedicated provision for a vote of confidence. "There's no real avenue for a no-confidence vote to be debated – unless the government agrees to it," he said on Tuesday (Aug 5). He also proposed that any such vote, if allowed, be conducted via secret ballot to ensure MPs can vote without external pressure. Kiandee also took aim at the anti-party hopping law following the Court of Appeal's recent decision upholding Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul's ruling not to vacate the seats of four Bersatu MPs who declared support for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He urged lawmakers across the aisle to support amendments to the law to address existing loopholes, saying failure to do so would render the Act ineffective. "We enacted this law to prevent MPs from jumping ship. But is this how it was meant to function? "If this isn't what you want, then you must support efforts to improve this law. "Otherwise, we might as well repeal the Act and let everyone jump freely here and there. "But if that's not what we want, then all of us must support efforts to strengthen this legislation," he said.
