Bandar Malaysia was a proposed mixed-use transit-oriented development located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This project was to be built at the current Sungai Besi Air Base site over 20 years.[1][2] It was also planned as a central transport hub connecting high-speed rail to Singapore (namely the Kuala LumpurSingapore High Speed Rail), Mass Rapid Transit, KTM Komuter, Express Rail Link, and 12 other highways with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of over RM140 billion.[3]

The development had been initially expected to kick-off in 2020 but was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][3] The project was ready to restart in 2021, after the settlement of a RM1.24bil payment to the Federal Government by IWH-CREC but has since been indefinitely postponed.
