The committee has summoned senior officers from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), the Kuala Lumpur lands and mines office, the department of irrigation and drainage, and the federal territories department to explain the procedures for selling state land, Kok, who is also the Seputeh MP, said.

“The hearings are ongoing. We will also call the former and current chief secretaries to the government,” she told FMT.

“When the investigation is concluded, we will provide our recommendations to the government.”

Kok reiterated her opposition to the sale of the police reserve land, which was initially set aside to build a police station for Brickfields.

She urged the government to negotiate with the developer to reclaim the land.

“Kuala Lumpur is already congested and state land is meant for (public amenities) like playgrounds or police stations.

“Yet, this police reserve land was sold to the developer at a price below market rate. How could that be?” she said.

In the Dewan Rakyat on Monday, Kok had questioned the government’s decision to sell the land, known as Lot 54780, to a private developer at a price lower than the market rate.

She urged the government to stop selling state-owned land in Kuala Lumpur to private developers, especially those planning to build new condominiums, as the city is already over-developed and congested.

FMT previously reported the concerns of Taman Desa residents, with many calling for the land sale to be cancelled.

They said Taman Desa is facing over-development and that the lot is surrounded by other high-density residential projects.
