Rayuan ditolak, keluarga di Rawang gagal pertahan banglo warisan 106 tahun
Maljindar Singh Sidhu Brar dan keluarganya terpaksa mengosongkan rumah itu selepas Mahkamah Rayuan memutuskan mereka tidak ada hak ke atas hartanah terbabit.
A 106-year-old ancestral home in Rawang has been denied justice, as a family in the area has failed to defend it. The historic house was built in 1920 by Berjuntai Tin Dredging Bhd, which had a monopoly on the region at the time. After more than two decades, Maljindar Singh Sidhu Brar's efforts to save his century-old home in Rawang finally came to an end after more than two decades.
On August 18th, the High Court rejected his final appeal to save the 106-year-old house that has been lived in by his family for 65 years. Known as Jimmy, Maljindar said the court decided he had no claim to the property. He has now cleared the Sino-Melayu-Palladian house, but is not aware of when it will be demolished. It is heartbreaking for his daughters and mother, he told FMT.
More distressing, Maljindar was given only six days to vacate the property, preventing him from salvaging any parts of the house. If given a chance, he said, he would take every piece of wood, beam, and detail, deeming it the most heartbreaking part. He mourns the loss of the land, but losing the rooms and beams that have served as family shelter for over half a century is unbearable, he said, adding he spent nearly RM1 million on legal fees.
