    In Malaysia, the Strata Titles Act (STA) 1985 currently requires unanimous consent of all owners of a building before beginning urban renewal work (e.g. demolishing and rebuilding, upgrading safety features, improving aesthetic value). In 2025, parliament is tabling the Urban Renewal Act (URA) to replace the STA 1985. Under the new Act, the federal and state governments can carry out urban renewal works without unanimous consent of building owners. The proposed consent thresholds may be as low as 51% of building owners, with thresholds set according to the age and abandonment of the building. If necessary, non- consenting owners can be forced to sell off their property.
