THE 64-year-old Taoist Hock Sui Tong temple, which faced possible demolition to make way for development, has received a reprieve after winning the civil suit filed by the developer of the land it occupies.

Despite the win, the temple committee urges Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the developer to meet them.
