REDEVELOPMENT of the Highland Towers site in Ampang that has been abandoned since the 1993 landslide tragedy can only be finalised only after several problems are resolved with the formation of a committee comprising 10 government agencies.

Housing and Local Government Minister Zuraida Kamaruddin said she did not have the relevant information and documents pertaining to the incident and the area for the authorities to proceed with the redevelopment plan.
