On March 23, 2025, former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad stood in Kampung Sungai Baru, a humble village overshadowed by Kuala Lumpur Tower, advocating for its residents. After a walkabout, he demanded RM3,000 per square foot as fair compensation for their land, dwarfed by Bukit Bintang’s RM7,000 rates. “Development must be just,” he declared, contrasting the developer’s meager RM450–RM1,800 offers. He envisioned shop lots for villagers to thrive, not just survive, amid urban growth. “I think RM3,000 is an appropriate price,” he insisted, his voice a beacon for equity, though he wryly noted police scrutiny limited his aid.
