PETALING JAYA: Lawmakers are urging Putrajaya not to rush the Urban Renewal Bill through its second reading in Parliament when it reconvenes in October.
The call comes amid mounting objections from professional bodies, civil society groups and residents' associations who fear that the Bill, first tabled in the Dewan Rakyat on Aug 21, could erode property rights and disproportionately empower developers at the expense of communities.
