EACH time Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) demolishes an illegal extension, the cost can easily go up to RM20,000 or more, depending on the size of the site, manpower and logistics required to carry out the job.

“Usually the cost is between RM15,000 and RM20,000, but if we need a huge crane, tractors and backhoe, then it can cost more,” said a senior officer from the Enforcement Department.
