Letter to The Star - 9 May 2012

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.
