Navigating Change: DBKL's Ban on Partitions, iBilik's Stand, Local Government Ministry's Crackdown.

In a series of recent developments reshaping the Malaysian property landscape, regulatory changes from Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) and the Ministry of Local Government Development also known as Kementerian Pembangunan Kerajaan Tempatan (KPKT) are spotlighting the housing sector.

The Crackdown by DBKL & KPKT

As reported by The New Straits Times on August 2023 and The Star on October 19, 2023, DBKL has imposed a ban on partitions in commercial-titled apartments, while KPKT is intensifying efforts to crack down on unconventional "bird's nest" rooms for rent.

DBKL's regulation, as outlined in The New Straits Times, prohibits the addition of more bedrooms in commercial-titled apartments in Kuala Lumpur. This move, aligned with KPKT's crackdown, aims to ensure the safety, compliance, and standardization of living spaces. It also addresses concerns related to the proliferation of makeshift partitions and unconventional rental arrangements.

iBilik's Statement

In response to these dynamic changes, iBilik, a key player in the property sector, has emphasized the necessity of partitioned rooms, especially for youths and the B40 demographic seeking affordable housing. As reported by Malay Mail on October 26, 2023, iBilik's statement sheds light on the diverse needs of various segments of the population and the necessity for inclusive housing solutions.
