KINIBIZ Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism minister Hasan Malek has waded into the row between Suria KLCC and one of its long-time tenants BritishIndia, saying the actions of the mall’s management appears to undermine the Buy Malaysia Campaign run by his ministry.

Hasan’s ( left ) comments to Utusan Malaysia comes off the back of media flurry surrounding the upcoming injunction hearing on Feb 24 in which BritishIndia hopes to stay Suria KLCC’s vacate-or-be-hoarded notice.

The local retailer alleged in its press statement on Tuesday that this was despite it being a competitive paying tenant and the management receiving rental for the same month the letter was served (July 2014).

“We found out that our current premises is intended to be leased to a foreign fashion brand who already has an existing location in Suria KLCC. We are left with no choice but to resort to legal action to protect our rights and be treated fairly,” founder Pat Liew said.
