Taman Desa residents’ MACC complaint on land sale disappears
(MMO) – Taman Desa residents said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has lost an official complaint that they had filed against the sale of a playground’s land.
M. Gunasekar, one of the 31 residents of Taman Desa’s low-rise Armada Villa who signed off on the complaint, said the written complaint was submitted on November 16, 2017 to MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Dzulkifli Ahmad’s office.
Malay Mail sighted the first page of the complaint that was hand-delivered to the MACC, with the date of November 16, 2017 stamped in acknowledgment by the chief commissioner’s office on the day it received the document.
“The Complaint was signed by 31 residents affected by a proposed project to build a 52-Storey High Rise Condominium to be built on a plot of land designated as a Playground,” Gunasekar told Malay Mail in a written statement yesterday.
He said the affected Taman Desa residents on November 18, 2017 then held a press conference on the proposed condominium development, noting that a search at the land office had showed that the land title carried the condition of use as “library and park” and that the land was transferred by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) to a private developer who had then charged the title to a bank.
Over a month later into the official complaint, Gunasekar said that it had become untraceable.
