Gravestones find 'will not affect construction'

StarMetro's report on April 13

DESCRIBING the discovery of the 18th century Muslim gravestones at the River of Life (RoL) project site as a remarkable find, Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Mohd Amin Nordin Abdul Aziz, however, said that construction work at the site will proceed as scheduled.

“It is exciting no doubt, and it reinforces the presence of the early Malay settlers who founded KL around 1857. However, we need to move on with development to meet the needs of today,’’ he said.
