Letters - TRX clarifies site of project

WE refer to "A question of heritage" (Citizen Nades, Nov 2). A sentence in the article alleges that Temasek House, which sits on land belonging to the Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC), has been told to relocate to make way for the Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) development.

The TRX project site sits on a 28.3ha piece of land situated in Imbi, at the corner of Jalan Tun Razak and Jalan Sultan Ismail. The project does not involve the land where Temasek House is located or any other land belonging to the RSGC, which is on the opposite side of Jalan Tun Razak.

TRX will also be contributing to Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur's (DBKL) plans to upgrade Jalan Tun Razak, as part of City Hall's effort to alleviate traffic congestion near the Bukit Bintang area and improve the connectivity of the area.

The upgrading, which will involve lane widening work for a stretch of Jalan Tun Razak, may temporarily affect some parts of the Temasek House compound. The final alignment for the upgraded road will be decided by DBKL. Nevertheless, we do not foresee any relocation of Temasek House due to the road upgrading.

We hope this clears the matter and sets the record straight for your readers.
