The public hearing sessions will begin in the second week of June and will carry on until the last week of July from 9am to 1pm daily on working days.

The sessions will be held at six venues located in the six strategic zones simultaneously.

According to Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Zulhasnan Rafique, the draft plan contains maps with written explanations.

Zulhasnan announced this at the launch of the KL Wireless Metro-politan at the City Hall yesterday.

He said the public could access information on the draft plan through the Executive Information System at the website klcityplan2020.dbkl.gov.my.

Zulhasnan said the public could give their comments and objections on the draft plan in writing by filling up a specific form available at the exhibition locations or through a form on the website.

“The acceptance of the draft plan will be announced in the media after the public hearing and when it is approved by the FT Ministry,” he said.

Zulhasnan said that once the draft plan was approved and gazetted, it would serve as the blueprint for the city until 2020.
