KUALA LUMPUR: The proposed Urban Renewal Bill (URA) has sparked open conflict within the Madani government, pitting Umno’s Titiwangsa MP Johari Abdul Ghani against coalition partners Amanah and DAP. Johari, who also serves as Federal Territories Minister, warned that rushing the URA could replicate the controversial Kampung Sungai Baru redevelopment, where homeowners risk being treated like squatters. He called for the Land Acquisition Act to be kept separate from urban renewal to prevent abuse.
