Several traders in Bukit Bintang affected by the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit M-R-T project held a demonstration today against the proposed acquisition of their properties for the project.
Chairman of the Bukit Bintang Protem Action Committee, Datuk Chong Peng Wah said two MRT stations were proposed to be built at both ends of Jalan Bukit Bintang.
The stations are supposed to be built on existing vacant plots, known as BB West and BB East, near the Pavilion mall.
He said since land is a constitutional right, it should not be taken from them without adequate consideration of the actual need to acquire.
MRT operator Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd had said on August 22nd that 20 lots in Bukit Bintang will be acquired for the MRT to make way for tunnelling work and an underground station.
