ABSTRACT
This paper provides a further investigation of the population movement in Malaysia. It attempts to measure unique behaviours of urban migration in Metropolitan Kuala Lumpur by utilising the migration data from censuses in multiple years (1980, 1991, 2000 and 2010) using the ‘Multiplicative Component Model’. The result has proved that Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur (F.T. Kuala Lumpur) is one of the populous migration destinations in Malaysia influenced by modern economic activities that attract especially those of a young age. This paper concludes that urban sectors should play a major role in managing and transforming cities into a liveable and sustainable living environment.
