      it is interesting to note the bungalow was in dilapidated condition, rotting away for many years and the compound overgrown with thick vegetation and the heritage group took no notice about it until a developer bought it.....

      Why didn't the Penang Heritage Trust put this building in the heritage list if it was a heritage building ? If it was in the list, i'm sure the developer would not have bought it or perhaps a heritage entrpreneur may turn it into a heritage hotel or something. Otherwise, the concerned heritage group may like to walk their talk, buy the property at RM 34 million and turn it into a memorial/museum for Khaw family. Please note it was the Khaw descendants who sold the property to the developer.

      Yes the building was illegally demolished, and the magistrate court had imposed a fine of RM 6,000. Too little one may say, but please note MPPP had filed the charges in the magsitrate court which only have the authority to impose fine of not more than RM 10,000. OK, let's file to the high court for higher fine you may say... RM 50 ...See more

        • 20 pykett penang illegal demolition Proper steps have to be taken. If there is a claim that the building should be listed heritage, the authorities, rightly, should investigate. After checking, the building may or may not be listed. Were there no avenues for the developer to appeal to the authorities to speed things up? Demolishing the building because the authorities took too long to decide is not the answer.

        • Michael Geh I Beg to Differ... I Think A Proper List of Heritage Buildings Must Be Published NOW & Gazetted. Heritage Buildings With Heritage Certificates is Worth A Lot More Internationally & will too in Malaysia. We Should Be Proud of Our Heritage Buildings.. Dilapidated or Not. AS it is now... The Way Sucks.. State Heritage Must Depend on Heritage Consultants who Think they Own Innercity & Now ... On This FORUM... The Intention May Be TO EXERT Pressure on whole Penang... wow.... not all of us are suckers man...

      Hi Mike, thank you & i agree with you completely. Here are the facts, prior to buying the land the developer had obtained written confirmation from MPPP that 20 Lebuhraya Pykett was not a heritage building. The MPPP local plan under the Town & Country Planning Act 1976 also listed this land as development land with residential land us...See more

      My Take.. Previous Gomen Gave in So Much to Have Density Suppressed to 18meters & Surrendered Double the Size of Core & Buffer Zones of Melaka to UNESCO jurisdiction.. We Have Already OverDone It. Now Small Groups of Peops Can Halt Demolition of Any OLD Building in The State... Hmmmmm

          Made less housing available for who? It is the middle income (and below) families that are finding it increasingly difficult to find affordable housing. The richer portions of society certainly has no problems and there are certainly plenty...See more

        • 20 pykett penang illegal demolition As for "increased risk" of doing business, being penalised for breaking the law should not be considered as increased risk. Just don't break the law in the first place!
