JOHOR BARU: The owner of the land, where the 150-year-old Wong Ah Fook Mansion once stood, is believed to have demolished the building to make way for a commercial housing development.

Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) chief whip Datuk Yahya Jaafar said the state government had wanted to acquire the 0.44ha land and was in the planning stages to do so.
