On September 1, the High Court heard that the RM1.39 million compensation paid by the Malaysian Government to Semantan Estate (1952) Sdn Bhd for the Duta Enclave land acquisition was deemed adequate. Assistant Director Tan Tat Khuan analyzed a sixth comparable property, Lot 1348, Mukim Kuala Lumpur, which had similar characteristics to the Duta Enclave land.
He determined the adjusted rate per acre to be $3,320, resulting in a total market value of $875,000, equivalent to RM875,000. Despite the government previously paying $1,390,602.70 (1956) to Semantan Estate, Tan noted that his recommended compensation was still more than adequate. The hearing is set to continue on October 16, with the Federal Court dismissing Semantan Estate's appeal against the Court of Appeal's decision on November 13, 2025.
