Dr Mahathir Mohamad is scheduled to speak at a forum at the Kuala Lumpur Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH) next week.

The talk will focus on China's investment in Malaysia.

In 2000, when Mahathir was still prime minister, Umno Youth had threatened to raze the building over the Malaysian Chinese Organisation Election Appeals Committee (Suqiu) matter.

Mahathir had branded Suqiu as a communist and extremist outfit over the 17 appeals it had presented to him ahead of the 1999 general election.
