Let it Be

Who says location, location, location is the main consideration when you buy property?

This story proves that decision for investing is wrong as one can lose your investment after 59 years.

Is it really necessary for the authorities to acquire this building for the National Heritage Center?

The parking around this building is atrocious and the traffic flow is bad if one is thinking of the busloads(?) of tourists that will arrive.

I feel sorry for this gentleman as the government had also acquired his estate to build Putrajaya.

If the authorities want to preserve the building they should designate it as a Heritage Building without buying it. The onus is then on the owner to maintain the building in the original condition with strict conditions on renovations etc.

The cinema looks very well maintained and provides an important social need for residents in KL. I expect the numbers will drop drastically if and when it is converted to a Heritage Center – maybe used for photo shoots?

The money saved could be channeled to making the city a safer place to live. Or have they not heard about those terrible criminals?

Please leave the old man in peace. How do you feel about this?
