Kota MADANI shows govt's commitment to address civil servants' housing
KUALA LUMPUR: The Kota MADANI project demonstrates the government's commitment to fulfilling the rights and needs of civil servants, particularly as a concrete solution to public housing issues in Putrajaya, said Parti Keadilan Rakyat Central Leadership Council member Sivamalar Genapathy. 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.

GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 (Bernama) -- The Kota MADANI project demonstrates the government's commitment to fulfilling the rights and needs of civil servants, particularly as a concrete solution to public housing issues in Putrajaya, said Parti Keadilan Rakyat Central Leadership Council member Sivamalar Genapathy .

It's Madani City, not ‘Anwar's City', says PKR leader
Published on: Thursday, June 05, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 05, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim being briefed on the Madani City project on Tuesday. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA: A PKR leader has defended the Madani City project in Putrajaya after a Bersatu leader questioned the use of the government's tagline in naming the project. PKR central leadership council member G Sivamalar said 'Madani' referred to the government's core values – including sustainability, innovation, and compassion – and was not meant to promote any single individual. 'It needs to be stressed that it's 'Madani City', not 'Anwar's City' as cynically claimed by Tasek Gelugor MP Wan Saiful Wan Jan. 'It's shameful to mock a policy built on such principles for political gain,' Sivamalar said in a statement. She added that the project addressed a real need for housing among civil servants, who make up 90% of Putrajaya's population. Sivamalar cited the Auditor-General's Report 2021, which said that nearly 18,000 civil servants were still waiting for government quarters. She said the 41ha Madani City project would offer 10,000 housing units for up to 30,000 people, and was meant to be a walkable city with essential services within a 15-minute radius. She urged critics to stop politicising public welfare and to support meaningful solutions introduced by the government. Yesterday, Wan Saiful warned against using administrative slogans to brand major projects, saying it could lead to losses if there was a change in government. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Madani City project is set for June 26. The township will come with a secondary school, a technical and vocational education and training institution, banks, a government clinic and a mosque, among others. Its first phase, involving around 3,000 residential units and a vertical school, is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
