In the interview, Khalid maintained that the redevelopment of Kampung Baru is a “viable project” and certainly not a “high-risk” venture. It would not be fully completed in a year but “over a period of years”. What many may have forgotten is that Kampung Baru and its residents are subject to three sets of written laws. The area was gazetted as a Malay Agricultural Settlement in 1900, comprising seven villages totalling 223 acres. That was the original MAS area, to which later was added another 84 acres — Outer MAS area — covering Raja Bot Village, Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor Flat, Pasar Minggu/Weekly Market, Kampong Bharu Flat), making it a total of 307 acres .
In 1991, the government instructed City Hall to take over a part of Kampung Baru for comprehensive development. This again proved unsuccessful. Finally in 2012, the Kampung Baru Development Corporation was established for the comprehensive development of Kampung Baru. In 2015, the Kampung Baru Comprehensive Development Plan 2035 was launched.The MAS Board derives its powers from the Malay Agricultural Settlement Rules 1951, gazetted on Jan 18, 1951.
The corporation’s functions are set out in detail in section 14, which include implementing policies, directions and strategies in accordance with plans prepared under Act 733 and to act as a “principal co-ordinating body” in relation to the development, redevelopment or improvement of Kampung Baru.
