BN BANDAR TUN RAZAK DIVISION
CHAIRMAN DATUK CHEW YIN KEEN RESOLVED LAND ISSUE FOR TEMPLE KUAN SENG THAN,
TAMAN IKAN EMAS. IT IS EVEN MORE GRATIFYING THAT THE
AREA OF LAND HE HAS OBTAINED FOR THE TEMPLE IS BIGGER BETTER THAN THE EXISTING
ONE
Datuk Chew Yin Keen, the Chairman of
Barisan Nasional Bandar Tun Razak Division, announced that the land issue of
Kuan Seng Than Temple in Taman Ikan Emas, Cheras has been resolved. What is
even better is that he has got a bigger piece of land for the temple.
He said that the Kuan Seng Than
Temple (better known as “Kwan Ti Temple”) is a centre of worship with a long
history in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. Now, the land issue of temple has been solved,
which means the temple could now fully focus in its effort of the re-development
plan.
“The Land will be gazetted by the
Land Office for the sole used of Kwan Ti Temple and the land size is
approximately 19,272 sq.ft. The original or existing land size is 1,020 sq.ft.
It also changed the land usage from buddist to taoist.
Datuk Chew Yin Keen was quoted as
saying during the handover of the Ministry of Federal Territories’s letter of
consent to the Wilayah Persekutuan land office to the committee members of Kwan
Ti Temple in relation to the aforesaid gazette.
He also reminded the committee members
of Kwan Ti Temple to set aside at least 10 feet buffer zone for future road
expansion as agreed.
He disclosed that in future there
will be seven temples built around the area. The adjacent SJK(C) NAAM KHEUNG
CHERAS is also a school with more than one hundred years of history. This area will
have 7 temples and a chinese school will have the potential to be developed
into a cultural tourism destination, offering Chinese culture as an attraction.
Therefore, it is imperative in the public interest to expand the roads and
ensure a smooth traffic flow, especially after the Re-development of Taman Ikan
Emas which has been commenced.
He also appealed to all parties to
support the fund-raising activities of Kwan Ti Temple, which aims to raise RM3
million for temple’s operating expenses. Any person who is interested to donate
money to the temple, you may write a cheque to Jawatankuasa Binaan Rumah
Berhala Kuan Seng Than Kuala Lumpur and mail to 1150, Jalan Ikan Ayu, Cheras
56000 Kuala Lumpur.
