About

Lembah Pantai is a parliamentary constituency in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, consisting of 47 divisions. Constituencies adjacent to Lembah Pantai are Seputeh, Segambut and Bukit Bintang.

Malays make up the majority of constituents in Lembah Pantai electorate at 52.8% followed by the Chinese at 25.3 %, Indians at 20.8%, and others at 1.1%. The total number of eligible voters is 56,650.

The constituency was represented by Shahrizat Abdul Jalil from the Barisan Nasional ruling coalition. She was the Member of Parliament since 1995. She was also the Women, Family and Community Development Minister in the Malaysian cabinet. She was defeated by Parti Keadilan Rakyat candidate, Nurul Izzah Anwar in the 2008 Malaysian general election.

Housing squatters had been Barisan Nasional’s trump card. To date, some 90% of squatters in Lembah Pantai have been resettled and allowed to purchase their homes, says Shahrizat. When Shahrizat first became the area’s MP in 1995, the problem of the day was squatters as well as other concerns, such as floods, fire, garbage collection, street lamps, and children’s scholarships.
