NUSAJAYA: The state government has instructed Yayasan Warisan Johor (YWJ) to investigate if the recently demolished mansion along Jalan Lumba Kuda here was actually the previous home of famous philanthropist and contractor Wong Ah Fook.

State Youth, Sports, Cultural and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Zulkurnain Kamisan said that since the building had been demolished, the state government did not see the need for it to be reconstructed and gazetted as a heritage site.
