Whose mansion it is? This 12 million luxury mansion at Lot 65, Seksyen 60, Persiaran Mahameru near Carcosa Seri Negara is allegedly built for Malaysia's former Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, reported Malay Mail.
A staff from City Hall's Town Planning Department claimed that this massive project is 'Pak Lah's house'. The newspaper checked that the project owner is indeed the Prime Minister's Department.
Judging from its ongoing construction, it is believed that this is a one-and-a-half storey bungalow attached with an external building. In contrast with the initial project submission to City Hall's Town Planning Department, it was originally meant for a development catered to a population density of 10 people per acre.
A senior officer of Public Works Department was shocked when he was asked if the mansion was built by the government specifically for the former premier. But the officer refused to comment on the details.
Meanwhile, FT Land Office said that records of this freehold land showed that the land is meant for 'building of a palace'. The matter surfaced when bloggers mentioned about it during the last few days of Abdullah as Malaysia's premier.
Pokok Sena MP Datuk Mahfuz Omar raised the issue in Parliament yesterday and questioned the secrecy of the project as it was not mentioned in Ninth Malaysia Plan and the 2010 Budget. In addition to that, Mahfuz also raised another issue stating that the project was granted to TRC Corporation, the same corporation that developed the submarine base worth over RM400 million in Sabah.
This luxury mansion offers view of Le Meridien and KL Hilton hotels at KL Sentral. The site has no board or signage to indicate what was being built. With only a plaque of numbers 'JKR 551', it could be a government-related project
