PETALING JAYA: The government plans to build a 41ha “Madani City” in Putrajaya, with the groundbreaking ceremony set for June 26.
Federal territories minister Dr Zaliha Mustafa said the township will be a strategic long-term development for Putrajaya and will come with 10,000 residential units to house 30,000 people.

She said its design would integrate artificial intelligence, high-efficiency digital infrastructure and a green mobility system.

“This is the foundation for a low-carbon city that upholds the principles of sustainability, welfare and public safety,” she said in a Facebook post.

Zaliha presented the township’s concept to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim today, adding that it was in line with the government’s vision of making the three federal territories clean, healthy, advanced, safe and eco-friendly, or “CHASE cities”.

Separately, Anwar said the “Madani City” concept stresses on providing centralised and holistic basic facilities that would ensure the people’s welfare.

He said among the facilities being planned are a secondary school, a technical and vocational education and training institution, banks, a government clinic and a mosque.

“The first phase will involve the construction of around 3,000 residential units and a vertical school, and is expected to be completed and operational by the end of 2027,” said the prime minister.
