TWELVE out of the 38 major abandoned projects in Kuala Lumpur have been deserted for between six and 18 years.

Kuala Lumpur mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib said Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) took a serious view on projects that were not completed as scheduled, which comprised mostly commercial entities or mixed development projects such as hotels and offices.
