PUTRAJAYA: Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has decreed that Kampung Baru, an icon in Kuala Lumpur, be redeveloped in line with the city’s rapid progress by taking into account the rights and interests of the Malays.
In his royal address during the investiture ceremony at Istana Melawati here in conjunction with the Federal Territory Day celebration, His Majesty said the Federal Government was currently working to redevelop Kampung Baru through a carefully drafted development plan.
His Majesty expressed hope that the redevelopment could be realised by taking into account the rights and interests of the Malays due to the fact that Kampung Baru symbolised their settlement in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur.
