Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Mohamed Nazri Aziz is to meet Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak tomorrow over the acquisition of land in Jalan Sultan and Jalan Bukit Bintang for the Sungai Buloh-Kajang line of the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT).

NONE Mohamed Nazri ( right ) said he would also hold discussions with Syarikat Prasarana Sdn Bhd, which was undertaking the project, to consider several matters including an alternative route before any acquisition.

He spoke to reporters after a dialogue with the Federation of Chinese Associations of Malaysia (Hua Zong) on the matter in Kuala Lumpur.

Several property owners, historians and Chinese cultural activists had objected to the acquisition of land in Jalan Sultan for the project, saying it would involve tearing down heritage buildings more than 100 years old.

Mohamed Nazri said Pandan MP Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat had shown him an alternative route for the MRT which bypasses the area designated for acquisition of the land.
