Assembly hall gets new 99-year lease at RM1,000
Federal territories minister Hannah Yeoh says this is part of the government’s efforts to preserve historical landmarks.
The Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH) has secured a 99-year lease renewal for a symbolic RM1,000, marking a significant reduction from the previously estimated land premium of nearly RM4.67 million, according to Bernama. Federal Territories Minister Hannah Yeoh announced the decision on Facebook, emphasizing the government's dedication to preserving Kuala Lumpur's historical landmarks and institutions of heritage significance.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim had personally visited the hall during a Chinese New Year celebration in February, prompting the minister to find a solution. The formal approval, dated October 1, confirms the land premium and a lease tenure of up to 99 years. The hall, recognized as a national heritage building in 2007, is poised to allocate more resources towards maintenance and community work, following the decision by the Federal Territories Land Committee.
