KL Chinatown traders can stay on
By YUEN MEIKENG
KUALA LUMPUR: The 31 shop lots near Jalan Sultan will not be
demolished for the construction of the Klang Valley MY Rapid Transit
(MRT) project, MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said.
He said the shops would remain as they are an important part of KL Chinatown's identity.
"During
the six months of constructing the MRT tunnel underneath the area, the
occupants will have to evacuate their property but will be told to
return after that.
"Buildings affected by the construction will
be strengthened," he told reporters after attending a dialogue between
the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), representatives of the
Jalan Sultan traders and others at the SPAD headquarters here Tuesday.
