Shahrir To Look Into Abandoned Pacific Mall Project

25/03/2008 Bernama

JOHOR BAHARU, March 25 (Bernama) -- Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad has promised to look into the abandoned Pacific Mall building project located right at the heart of the city.

Shahrir, who is also Johor Baharu member of parliament, said the Pacific Mall buyers' committee had brought up several issues, among them the protection for commercial property buyers.

"If you buy a house, you'd be compensated if it is abandoned, but what if the property is a shopping complex?" he said after visiting the building Tuesday.

Shahrir said he would forward the matter to a special committee headed by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Bernard Dompok.

Another issue, he said, was about the safety of abandoned building and what should be done to prevent theft to equipments and fittings inside the building.

He said would discuss the matter with Johor Baharu City Council and other local authorities.

The RM300 million Pacific Mall, comprising a 24-storey office tower, shopping arcades as well as car park, started construction in 1995 but run into problems and had not been completed until now.
