New firm to revive Plaza Rakyat


The Plaza Rakyat project was abandoned after the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis and has since become an eyesore.

KUALA LUMPUR: The revival of the abandoned Plaza Rakyat project in Jalan Pudu here is headed the way of controversy, with the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) looking to appoint a new company to undertake the job.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib revealed yesterday that DBKL did not recognise the appointment of Ivory Properties Group Bhd to revive the project.
