KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 – The Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS) denied claims that the 47-year-old PKNS Complex in Shah Alam will be demolished.
PKNS in a statement said the corporation was disappointed with such baseless claims and would lodge a report to the police as well as the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) against those spreading such fake news.
“PKNS wish to reiterate that are no plans to demolish the complex. The PKNS Complex is 47 years-old and a landmark in Shah Alam that plays an important role in providing business services and shopping facilities for residents in Selangor, especially residents staying in the area,” said the statement.
According to PKNS, a project to rejuvenate buildings on land owned by PKNS in Section 14 of Shah Alam is part of the corporation’s plans to develop and provide better facilities and to spruce up Shah Alam with work expected to start by the third quarter of the year.
“The RM2 billion project will involve several plots of land in Section 14, including the SACC Mall and Shah Alam Convention Centre whereby the initial part of the project does not involve the PKNS Complex at all.
