Eurasian Association celebrates 92nd jubilee - 28 December 2012
KUALA LUMPUR: Despite the fate of their clubhouse in Pudu hanging in the balance, members of the Selangor and Federal Territory Eurasian Association (Saftea) celebrated its 92nd anniversary recently.
Guests of the President's Ball, themed "Treasured Memories at Jalan Pudu", were in high spirits as comedians Indy Nadarajah and Allan Pereira kept them in stitches.
Bands The Winds of Change and The Blueberries provided plenty of music for the club members to enjoy and dance to.
Saftea president Sheila de Costa announced that RM100,000 has been raised for the Save The Clubhouse Fund.
She said in April, the clubhouse was served with an eviction notice by UDA Holdings Bhd to vacate the premises by June 23.
Following legal action, Saftea managed to get a stay order pending completion of court proceedings.
Present at the ball were Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Datuk Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and wife Datin Feona, Brazilian Embassy minister counselor Jose Soares Jr, Saftea past presidents James P. Monteiro and First Admiral (rtd) Datuk Nick Peterson, YMCA president Leo Leslie Armstrong and Catholic Lawyers Association president Joy Appukuttan.

The Editor
The Star Newspaper
9th May, 2012
Dear Sir,
Re: Correction of errors in your today’s article entitled “Permanent home needed – Eurasian Association faces eviction after 60 years at site”
I have for reference your abovementioned article which was published in the STAR Newspaper today, 9th May, 2012.
2. I thank the STAR for taking the time to interview both the Honourable Secretary of our association, SAFTEA and I recently on the issue of SAFTEA’s rights over the present site. Whilst publicity is welcomed for our “Save our Building Campaign” the article carries serious factual errors which must be corrected immediately.

Eurasian association faces eviction after 60 years at site - 9 May 2012
AFTER nearly 60 years of operating on a Temporary Occupation Land (TOL) in Jalan Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, a cultural centre is facing an eviction notice, leaving them in a lurch.
On April 5, Selangor and Federal Territory Eurasion Association (Saftea) received a letter from the land owner informing them that a eviction notice would be issued soon to facilitate redevelopment near the former Pudu Jail site.
Saftea president Sheila E. De Costa said they were now at a critical stage and did not know where to go if they were asked to leave.
“I wrote a letter appealing to spare us this land but they have not responded.
“In 1940, the Collector of Land Revenue Kuala Lumpur allotted Saftea a piece of land at the junction of Jalan Ipoh and Maxwell Road for holding activities. However, in 1947, we were informed that the said land had been occupied by the military forces.
