MARCH 1973 Proposed Street , Drainage and Building Bill was published for general information and public comment .
APRIL 1973 Uniform Building By-Laws published for general information of and comments from the public . Resulting from the Bill , a total of 19 written submissions were received . These were all considered carefully by the working group of the Uniform Building Regulations Sub-Committee .
JUNE 13 , 1974 Street , Drainage and Building Act , 1974 – Act 133 gazetted . This Act empowering the State Authority to make bylaws for all aspects of buildings , streetworks and drainage works was the first significant step taken . All that remained to be done by the legislators was the speedy implementation of the three corresponding sets of supporting by-laws , the drafts of which had already been published on April 5 , 1973 .
SEP 11 , 1974 Report of the UBR Sub- Committee submitted to the Co-ordinating Committee . The Report considered the 19 written submissions and emphasised the need for adequate personnel to implement the UBBL and recommended that the UBBL be reviewed as frequently as possible .
JUN 23 , 1975 Kuala Lumpur Municipal ( Building ) ( Amendment ) By-Laws , 1975 gazetted . These were based on the draft of the UBBL by the Ministry ’ s UBBL Technical Committee but incorporated various amendments as well as errors that the Working Group had already identified . However , practitioners soon discovered to their dismay as well as inconvenience that these amendments and errors in the KL By-Laws were a result of referring to an earlier draft of the UBBL . In addition , a number of new provisions had been incorporated . This resulted in many contradictory provisions and therefore were impossible to comply with , while others had far-reaching consequences .
OCT 1976 TO OCT 1977 PAM UBBL Standing Committee reviewed the KLM ( Building ) ( Amendment ) By-Laws 1975 . The Committee had 48 meetings with 31 members from the parties of Authorities , Architects , Consulting Engineers and Specialist Contractors .
JUNE 1 , 1978 PAM ’ s Final Draft of the Kuala Lumpur Municipal ( Building )( Amendment ) By- Laws 1978 was published . This was expected to eventually be one of the three Uniform By- Laws under the Street , Drainage and Building Act , 1974 .
JULY 18 , 1979 Pink colour cover of the “ Uniform Building By-Laws 1976 ” published by the Government Printer . The unfortunate printing of this outdated and erroneous document was in response to the increasing demands by various local authorities for the “ Uniform Building By-Laws ”, the draft of which had already been published earlier in April 1973 .
