HOLDING events at Klang’s Dewan Hamzah is going to be an expensive affair once work to refurbish the public hall is completed.

In view of its new banquet hall concept, Klang Municipal Council’s (MPK) Valuation and Asset Management Department has recommended that the rental be raised to a whopping RM15,000 for a standard 10 hours compared to RM2,450 previously.
