PUTRAJAYA (Jan 29): Putrajaya has rolled out three major digital platforms aimed at enhancing its transformation into a smart, sustainable, and digitally connected city, while strengthening public engagement and accessibility to municipal services.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), Hannah Yeoh, said the initiatives include the Putrajaya Tourism Website, the Putrajaya Mobile App, and the Local Agenda 21 (LA21) Website. Together, these platforms are designed to improve digital outreach, promote tourism, and encourage community participation in sustainable governance.
According to Yeoh, the newly launched tourism website will position Putrajaya as a key urban lifestyle, leisure, and events destination, complementing broader economic activity across the Klang Valley. The Putrajaya Mobile App, meanwhile, functions as a centralised digital gateway, allowing residents and visitors to access city information, public services, and updates through a single platform.
The LA21 website focuses on community involvement and sustainable development, aligning Putrajaya’s long-term planning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
She made these remarks after officiating the Putrajaya Open Day 2026, which is being held at Dataran Putrajaya from Jan 29 to Feb 1.
The four-day event features approximately 500 exhibitors from both the public and private sectors, reflecting strong collaboration between government agencies, businesses, and community stakeholders. Yeoh encouraged families to attend, highlighting the wide range of attractions including festive preparations, interactive family activities, retail booths, and educational exhibits.
One of the highlights this year is the presence of two elephants from the National Elephant Conservation Centre in Kuala Gandah, Pahang, offering visitors a rare hands-on educational experience, particularly for children living in urban areas.
Organisers are targeting 200,000 visitors, a significant increase from around 50,000 attendees last year, signalling growing public interest and engagement.
Putrajaya Open Day 2026 showcases a diverse mix of government services, tourism exhibitions, education and career programmes, creative displays, food and beverage zones, and live performances. The event also plays a strategic role in promoting Putrajaya as a safe, liveable, and investment-friendly city.
Held in conjunction with Federal Territory Day 2026 and the 30th anniversary of Putrajaya Corporation, the event serves as a high-impact platform to strengthen collaboration between the public sector, private enterprises, and the community. This initiative further reinforces Putrajaya’s role within the wider Klang Valley ecosystem, supporting demand for commercial property in KL, well-planned office space in Bukit Jalil, and integrated developments connected to industrial land in Selangor.
As digital infrastructure and urban liveability continue to improve, the spillover effects are expected to support surrounding growth areas such as industrial property in the Subang area and factory developments in Puchong, where businesses increasingly value connectivity, accessibility, and sustainable city planning.
