'Show me the land,' KL mayor urges MP


Kuala Lumpur mayor Ahmad Fuad has refused to entertain allegations that KL City Hall had used provisions under the KL City Plan 2020, within the Pudu area, to acquire land at below the market price.

NONEAhmad (left) instead asked a reporter to state the land’s lot number and be more specific about the claim.

“Can you be specific (over the land) in Jalan Pudu as to where is it? I cannot respond to your question as this is not specific.
"You have to tell me where the land is. In Pudu, there is a lot of land, including the old Pudu prison. So you have to tell me as I am not certain.

“This being so, I have to discuss with my officers as to where (the land is).
"You did not name the lot, and how can I answer... it may be a different land,” he said at a press conference at the KL City Hall Training Institute today.

Prior to this, Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng was reported to have received complaints that KL City Hall had issued an acquisition notice, and an order to vacate a portion of commercial land on Jalan Pudu.

Lim claimed that the KL City Hall had been implementing provisions under the KL City Plan 2020 to acquire land below the market price although the plan was still in the drafting stage.
