The Kampong Baru Development Corporation 2010 is expected to be operational in July next year after the bill on the corporation is scrutinised and debated in parliament, said Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing Minister Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin.

He said the second reading of the Kampung Baru Development Corporation Bill 2010 would be tabled at the Dewan Rakyat sitting in March next year.

"I am convinced that (it) will be debated in March. Certain weaknesses we can improve in terms of the bill.

"Everyone is given ample time to discuss the matter," he said at the media conference after attending a briefing on the Kampong Baru Development Corporation Bill 2010 to the residents of Kampung Periuk and Kampung Hujung Pasir in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
