Chinese cemetery: Gov't has not made decision - MB

The state government has still not made a decision to allow a private company to develop 141 hectares of land in the Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0 into a Chinese cemetery, the State Legislative Assembly sitting was told today.

Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun said the matter was still at the study and discussion stage.

“We agreed to conduct a study as this is quarry land and nobody wants to build in a hilly area.

“If there is really no other development, we will look at the real needs of the area. So we will consider the proposal to develop this land as a Chinese cemetery. It is only being considered, no decision has been made,” he said today.

Aminuddin, who is also Sikamat state assemblyperson was replying to a supplementary question from Mohamad Hasan (BN-Rantau) during the oral session of the Third Meeting (Budget) of the Negeri Sembilan State Legislative Assembly session today.

In his question, Mohamad asked if the government had given a written consent to a company to develop the land into a Chinese cemetery.
