THE fate of the Vivekananda Ashram in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, is once again in jeopardy as the land on which the building is on is not recognised as a heritage site in the draft Kuala Lumpur Local Plan (KLLP 2040).
Residents who attended a briefing with the Save Kuala Lumpur Coalition (SKL) were shocked to find there was no mention of the iconic building being designated a heritage site in the draft.
