Kg Chitty will remain as heritage site


MALACCA: A development project at the fringes of a heritage site housing three Hindu temples will not threaten the existence of the traditional village, said state execu­tive councillor Datuk M.S. Mahadevan.

Refuting allegations on social media, he said the Malacca government was monitoring the controversial high-rise condominium project at Kampung Chitty in Gajah Berang here, arguably the oldest enclave in the historic city.
