Anyara Hills, KHK Set to Benefit from Semenyih Bypass as Malay Reserve Land Replacement Assured
The development of the Semenyih Bypass Project has taken a decisive step forward following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s assurance that all Malay Reserve Land affected by the project will be fully replaced, reinforcing confidence in infrastructure-led growth near Anyara Hills, KHK.
Speaking at the launch of the Semenyih Public Infrastructure Development project, Anwar said the Selangor Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, had personally confirmed the commitment to protect Malay reserve land.
“I heard it myself. I will not compromise on the status of Malay Reserve Land,” Anwar said, adding that any land acquired for road development purposes would be replaced accordingly.
This assurance removes one of the most sensitive concerns surrounding large-scale infrastructure projects and provides regulatory clarity for developments located along the bypass corridor, including Anyara Hills, a residential enclave developed by KHK Land.
A strategic road that reshapes accessibility
The 4.3-kilometre Semenyih Bypass will connect Jalan Sungai Lalang directly to the Kajang Dispersal Link Expressway (SILK Highway) via a new four-lane route. Once completed, the bypass is expected to significantly reduce congestion on existing arterial roads while improving regional connectivity between Semenyih, Kajang and the wider Klang Valley.
For residents and homeowners at Anyara Hills, the bypass represents a structural improvement rather than a short-term convenience. The new route is designed to link directly to major highways, including SILK, LEKAS and CKE, effectively opening up access to six expressways within minutes.
According to project briefings, the bypass will shorten travel time to Kuala Lumpur from around 45 minutes to approximately 20 minutes, fundamentally changing commuting patterns for residents in southern Selangor.
Anyara Hills, KHK and the connectivity advantage
Anyara Hills is strategically positioned near the alignment of the new bypass, with projections indicating that residents will be able to reach the Sungai Long toll plaza in as little as five minutes once the road is operational.
This level of connectivity is a key differentiator in today’s residential market, where buyers increasingly prioritise travel efficiency, accessibility to employment centres and reduced daily commute stress.
The bypass effectively brings Anyara Hills closer to established growth nodes such as Kajang, Sungai Long and Cheras, while maintaining its low-density, hillside living concept. In property market terms, such infrastructure-driven accessibility tends to enhance long-term value rather than short-lived speculative gains.
Privatisation model and execution certainty
The Semenyih Bypass is being implemented under a privatisation model, reducing fiscal burden on the government while accelerating delivery timelines. The project is described as a strategic collaboration between KHK Land and the Federal Government, aligning private-sector execution with public infrastructure priorities.
While the development cost is acknowledged to be high — due largely to land acquisition complexities and terrain challenges — Anwar emphasised that the project is necessary to address long-standing traffic bottlenecks faced by local communities.
From a planning perspective, this approach provides stronger execution certainty compared to piecemeal road upgrades, ensuring the bypass functions as a coherent transport spine rather than a fragmented solution.
Malay reserve land assurance removes key uncertainty
One of the most critical outcomes of the Prime Minister’s statement is the clear reassurance surrounding Malay Reserve Land replacement.
Infrastructure projects involving reserve land often face prolonged delays due to legal challenges and public concern. By explicitly stating that reserve land will be replaced, rather than merely compensated, the government has addressed a fundamental issue of land continuity and ownership protection.
For nearby developments such as Anyara Hills, this assurance reduces policy risk and reinforces confidence among buyers, investors and local stakeholders who are sensitive to land status and long-term planning stability.
Beyond roads: social infrastructure included
In addition to road connectivity, the Semenyih Bypass project includes the construction of a new Islamic public burial ground in Hulu Langat, which will be handed over to the Federal Territory Islamic Religious Council for long-term maintenance.
The new cemetery is expected to provide approximately 100,000 burial plots, addressing a critical shortage as the existing Raudhatul Sakinah Islamic Cemetery in Kuala Lumpur is projected to meet demand for only another four years.
Anwar noted that annual deaths in the Federal Territory are expected to exceed 3,000 cases within the next five years, making the provision of additional burial space a necessary component of long-term urban planning.
The inclusion of social infrastructure alongside transport development reflects a more holistic approach to regional growth, rather than infrastructure being built in isolation.
Implications for homeowners and future residents
For current and future residents of Anyara Hills, the implications of the bypass extend beyond shorter commute times. Improved road connectivity tends to:
-
Enhance liveability by reducing travel fatigue
-
Increase accessibility to education, healthcare and commercial centres
-
Support stronger demand fundamentals for residential properties
-
Improve emergency response and logistics access
Importantly, the bypass does not alter the character of the surrounding residential areas but instead improves their integration with the wider metropolitan network.
A long-term catalyst, not a speculative trigger
While infrastructure announcements often trigger short-term market excitement, the Semenyih Bypass should be viewed as a long-term structural catalyst. Its benefits will accrue progressively as traffic patterns shift, supporting sustainable growth rather than sudden price spikes.
For developments like Anyara Hills by KHK, the bypass aligns with broader urban planning goals: decentralising congestion, improving regional mobility and supporting balanced development across Selangor.
Conclusion
The Semenyih Bypass Project marks a significant milestone for southern Selangor, with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s assurance on Malay Reserve Land replacement removing a key source of uncertainty.
As a development closely aligned with the new transport corridor, Anyara Hills, KHK stands to benefit from enhanced connectivity, reduced travel times and stronger long-term fundamentals — all without compromising land status or community integrity.
Rather than being just another road project, the bypass represents a strategic investment in mobility, social infrastructure and planning certainty, reinforcing the role of infrastructure as a foundation for sustainable residential development.
