  • Status: Under construction / set up

TThe Federal Territories Ministry has allocated some RM12 million annually to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL)
to provide free school bus services for 8,072 children of residents of People’s Housing (PPR) and Public Housing
(PA) project. In return, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) is to provide free school bus service to more than 6,500
children of residents of People's Housing (PPR) and Public Housing (PA) projects beginning 2017. 165 buses had been
readied for the use of primary pupils and secondary students living in the 74 PPR and PA projects in the
federal capital.The move is aimed at reducing the financial burden of low-income families as the amount allocated
for each student is RM80. buses would be operated by appointed bus companies and the cost of operation
would be borne entirely by the Ministry of Federal Territories. Students are free to board the bus provided
that they register first and that they must be in school uniform when using the service. While the measure is to
reduce the financial burden of school bus service for residents of Kuala Lumpur, the project also helps to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions indirectly in the long run.

Kuala Lumpur Low Carbon Society Blueprint 2030 (KL LCSBP 2030) - Kuala Lumpur City Hall
  • Start year:
  • Type: Action plan
  • Status: Planning phase

Cities are increasingly recognised as the most effective and important non-state actors in mitigating global climate change in terms of yielding real cuts in urban Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Kuala Lumpur, as the Capital City and economic powerhouse of rapidly developing Malaysia, needs to lead the way to reducing GHG emissions of rapid economic growth, especially in contributing to the achievement of the national target of 45% reduction in GHG emission intensity of GDP by 2030 (compared to the 2005 level). To that end, the formulation and implementation of a holistic, scientifically grounded and people-centric city-level climate change mitigation plan – the Kuala Lumpur Low Carbon Society Blueprint 2030 (KL LCSBP 2030) – using the ‘Science to Action’ (S2A) approach are highly essential. The KL LCSBP 2030 will provide a critical platform to coordinate and consolidate in an integrated manner various related but largely unconnected sustainability and climate change mitigation policies and programs that have been separately put in place so far in the city. As a holistic plan, the KL LCSBP 2030 proposes 10 key Actions, 38 Sub-actions, 83 Measures and 244 Programs for implementation that straddle three key thrusts: 1) Prosperous, Robust and Globally Competitive Economy; 2) Healthy, Creative, Knowledgeable and Inclusive Community; and 3) Ecologically Friendly, Liveable and Resilient Built Environment. This will provide KLCH with a strategic direction and clear framework for coordinating related policies and programs to minimise wasteful overlaps and for optimising the city’s limited resources towards more effective and impactful implementation of GHG reduction measures towards meeting predetermined reduction targets.

Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020 - Kuala Lumpur City Hall
  • Start year:
  • Type: Action plan
  • Status: Planning phase

Currently, there is a variety of public transport modes including rail, buses and taxis serving Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding Klang Valley region. However, Kuala Lumpur, with a population of
1.79 million in the city and 7 million within Greater KL/Klang Valley (2017) , is experiencing the effects and challenges of rapid urbanisation and urban planning issues. To resolve these issues, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (KLCH) has plans to initiate programmes with relevant agencies such as the Land Transport Authority (SPAD) that would improve the public transportation system and increase the transportation sustainability of Klang Valley. The Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020, in particular, intends to respond to the unprecedented growth and changes of Kuala Lumpur’s urban transportation landscape.Recent efforts on urban
transportation design addresses both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the city’s built environment.
The Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2020 particularly cites good transportation linkage as an essential factor to the
success of the city, noting that public transportation would enable greater flexibility and movement. For the
residents of Kuala Lumpur, it is important to provide transportation structure that allows members of the
community equal accessibility. The KLCH recognizes low modal split of the transportation sector
as the key problem to high demands on road infrastructure and traffic congestion. Thereby, based on the Land Transport
Authority's Masterplan, the public transport modal share needs to be increased to 40%.

Centralized Composting system at Nursery Jinjang of DBKL - Kuala Lumpur City Hall
  • Start year:
  • Type: Technical / Infrastructural

Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) will be processing green waste to save money on fertiliser and tipping fees. It is estimated that DBKL would save RM897,000 through a green technology pilot project with MIG Green (M) Sdn Bhd which began in 2014.It involves processing green waste into compost and will result in a more systematic management of such waste. As DBKL wants each resident to enjoy the green areas in the city, such initiatives will ensure the trees are healthy in Jinjang Utara, a surburb of Kuala Lumpur. DBKL maintains approximately 180,000 trees in Kuala Lumpur and this involves cutting down dangerous trees.Previously, tree waste used to be disposed of at waste disposal centres such as Bukit Tagar. Now through this project, the waste can be reused into compost to improve the soil condition. It was estimated that the RM 897,000 saved came from not needing to spend on tipping fees to dispose of the tree waste at the Taman Beringin Transfer Station, which is RM36 per tonne tree waste and RM30 per tonne tree waste at Bukit Tagar respectively. The measure also prevents the occurance of illegal dumping of garden waste and infrequent garden waste collection which solicits complaints from the general public.
