PSM has urged Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming to defer the tabling of the Urban Renewal Act (URA) to next year, citing unresolved issues raised by residents’ groups, civil society, and political parties.

In an open letter to Nga, PSM chairperson Dr Jeyakumar Devaraj said the proposed bill must be improved to address legitimate concerns and ensure wider consensus before being re-tabled in Parliament.
